The Show Will Go On!
After a very thorough assessment by the Libertyville Fire Department the the Village of Libertyville fireworks show will be able to proceed as planned on July 4th, with certain precautions due to dry conditions.
Once again, the Village will host its traditional fireworks display this Independence Day, thanks to yet another generous sponsorship by the Libertyville Mile of Cars. The Libertyville Mile of Cars, an association comprised of twelve local dealerships, will cover a third of the cost of the fireworks. The Village of Libertyville will continue to sponsor the remaining balance of the $15,000 total cost.
According to Libertyville Mayor, Terry L. Weppler, “The Village is fortunate to have the support of the Libertyville Mile of Cars to offer a spectacular fireworks display for our residents benefit. This is an example of the many ways our local businesses support the community and why we continue to ask our residents to Shop Libertyville.”
The Independence Day fireworks display is scheduled for dusk on July 4th (approximately 9:30 p.m.). The viewing area is in Butler Lake Park. Preceding the fireworks will be a performance by the Libertyville Band at 7:30 p.m. in the Butler Lake Bandshell. Butler Lake is located along Lake Street, approximately a half mile west of Milwaukee Avenue. Due to extremely dry conditions attendees are asked not to use any fire sparklers or other items that can inadvertently start a brush fire.
According to Glenn Bockwinkel, President of the Libertyville Mile of Cars and owner of Acura of Libertyville, “Our dealerships appreciate the importance of the Independence Day celebration to the Libertyville community, and it is our pleasure to be able to make the fireworks display a continued tradition”.
