Bill,<br><br>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.<br><br>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. <br><br>Wouldn't that help bring our town even more together?<br><br>Matt<br><br><blockquote><hr>From: london@moscow.com<br>To: donovanjarnold2005@yahoo.com; graylex@yahoo.com; jeanlivingston@turbonet.com; vision2020@moscow.com<br>Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2007 09:09:26 -0700<br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Friday Fireworks<br><br>

<div>My suggestion;</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Have a BBQ with games, and have MSD children act out scenes from the US
History and the signing of the Declaration. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>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. </div>

<div>Best,</div>

Maybe this is an opportunity for vision2020<br>people to put some action
behind all the talk and<br>figure out a way to fundraise for fireworks for
the<br>4th? It's a nice community-building activity and<br>potential common
ground for people to meet and greet<br>and put aside their DIFFERENCES and
be a community for<br>a few hours.<br><br>Didn't the firefighters
traditionally spearhead this?<br>Anyone have contacts with anyone that used
to organize<br>fireworks? If tiny little Elk River can work up
the<br>fundage to have fireworks, why can't Moscow?<br>debbie
