Libertyville approves fireworks contract

The tradition will continue in Libertyville as the village board has approved a contract for fireworks on the Fourth of July. Of three vendors that applied, village staff determined that Johnny Rockets Fireworks Productions of Chicago would provide the most bang for the buck for the $15,000 budgeted.

The company will fire a total of 2,298 shells, including 713 for the grand finale. Johnny Rockets has performed shows in the village in the past. The show is at dusk on July 4 at Butler Lake Park.
