Fireworks display on annual Spring Lake Heritage Festival
Display location:Mill Point Park
City:SPRING LAKE
State:NC
Date:10 p.m. Saturday, June 19
Details: SPRING LAKE — Where the Village of Spring Lake has had to cut back, other organizations have stepped forward to fund the fireworks that have become a highlight of the annual Spring Lake Heritage Festival.
In November 2009, village officials announced they would not be donating $900 to the event as part of an attempt to offset more than $21,000 in state revenue sharing cuts.
It was also unknown at the time if Huntington Bank would still be able to fund the bulk of the costs, as it had in the past.
But at Monday night's Village Council meeting, Huntington Bank Spring Lake branch Manager Kathleen Alward said the bank would be donating $6,000 towards the 2010 display.
Spring Lake Rotary Club member Doug Heins also announced the organization would donate $1,000 to make up for the village's part of the funding, said Village Manager Ryan Cotton.
Village President Bill Filber accepted the donations on behalf of council, Cotton said.
Council will continue to work with Wolverine Fireworks, as in the past, if they are still competitive with other fireworks businesses, Cotton said.
This year's Heritage Festival will be held June 15-20. The fireworks show is scheduled for 10 p.m. Saturday, June 19, from a barge off Mill Point Park.
