According to Gary Leonard, who heads up the fireworks program, the event is behind where they need to be in fundraising, and they are looking for everyone's help. "So far, we have raised $3,500 of the $6,000 needed for the show," said Mr. Leonard. "The Fireworks wholesaler told me if they were to put on this show, it would cost over $20,000. We can do this here because of our local volunteer effort and talent." Tentative guests for the event are the Bonners Ferry Fire Department, Bonners Ferry Police Department, and the Idaho Department of Lands. In addition to the great food at the barbecue, the event at Super 1 will have a bounce house, a walk on water ride (inflatable balls on water), and various games and events including a watermelon eating contest.
