I see the same misconception about Pumpkin Fest. The Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce promotes controls and pays for that event.

Individual business and groups tend to be the main funding sources for these events.

No,no, no. Complain about anything about bike week and like a ventriloquist on a dummy’s knee, “but look how much revenue it brings in “

Not for the City.

The politicians may feel political pressure... but the numbers have never really added up.

Fireworks became less about the 4th and more about the summer. The Weirs used to hold them every weekend. Now I think they do them every two weeks.
