[Vision2020] Friday Fireworks

Wed Oct 17 18:48:52 PDT 2007

Bill,

I took you as a man of loyal local principle. One that likes to buy local, ride bikes, enjoy our town, save on gas,etc. Isn't this what MCA is all about? Our town, Moscow Idaho.

So why would you or myself, for that matter, want to go to Pullman, spending my local dollars over there along with gas money. Wouldn't it be great if you could just venture down to Wicks field once again with friends and family, all for a mutual benefit of watching our donated money going up in a big colorful bang. 

Wouldn't that help bring our town even more together?

Matt

Why is it important for Moscow to duplicate the 
fireworks & live music & BBQ food available on July 4 just 8 miles away 
in Pullman?

  My suggestion;

  Have a BBQ with games, and have MSD children act out scenes from the US 
  History and the signing of the Declaration. 

  Get the city and county to match funds raised. Get private businesses to 
  donate food and supplies in turn allow them to advertise at the event. Make it 
  a MCA/GMA joined effort to supply the people power. And don't forget to have a 
  raffle with door prizes. I would hold it that East City Park. Also invite 
  bands for patriotic music. You can usually find volunteers through the UI 
  Music Department. 

  Best,

  Donovan

  Just a thought.

  Hmmm. 
    Maybe this is an opportunity for vision2020
people to put some action 
    behind all the talk and
figure out a way to fundraise for fireworks for 
    the
4th? It's a nice community-building activity and
potential common 
    ground for people to meet and greet
and put aside their DIFFERENCES and 
    be a community for
a few hours.

Didn't the firefighters 
    traditionally spearhead this?
Anyone have contacts with anyone that used 
    to organize
fireworks? If tiny little Elk River can work up 
    the
fundage to have fireworks, why can't Moscow?
