[Vision2020] Friday Fireworks

Hi Matt!

 

Regarding the UI homecoming fireworks, you asked:

"I wonder if this was donation from the students or if the school payed for
that great display?"

 

It was funded by donations, and not just from students:

UI gears up for homecoming

The University of Idaho is bringing back a long-lost homecoming tradition
for alumni, students, and prospective Vandals this week.

The homecoming fireworks show, which was an annual campus celebration prior
to the 1950s, will be revived at 9:15 tonight in the Kibbie Dome parking
lot.

Homecoming Committee Advisor Katie Dahlinger said the $10,000 fireworks show
was made possible through donations.

"We started fundraising for fireworks in August," she said. 

Dahlinger said the community, local businesses, and the student alumni
relations board all made contributions to the fireworks fund.

"We've had people go door to door, and (people have even donated) out of
their pocket," she said.

It would be nice if we could do fireworks on an actual celebration, like
let's say umm, July 4th.

I wonder if this was donation from the students or if the school payed for
that great display?
