The display will take place at approximately 9:25 p.m. on Saturday, July 4.
Due to lack of entries, the Lighted Boat Parade scheduled for July 4th off Library Park has been canceled.
The street fair sponsored by the Lakeport Main Street Association opens at 10 a.m. on July 4. There also is also the cardboard and duct tape boat race at Library Park at 11 a.m. There will be lots of fun for everyone.
Lakeport Regional Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Officer Melissa Fulton said the chamber hasn't yet raised the full amount needed for the fireworks display, but the Fireworks Committee – olice Chief Kevin Burke, Mayor Ron Bertsch, Leslie Firth, Ross Kauper, Sinda Knight, Barbara Breunig and Fulton – is confident everyone will chip in what they can to help pay for the 2009 display.
To date, $10,084 has been raised.
Donations can be made at various merchants around the north end of the lake; the chamber will collect them through next week.
Fulton extended the committee's thanks to all who have donated to date.
