Hi Folks,
As many of you know, Hamden always does a fantastic fireworks display. As long as it doesn't rain on Friday, we will see them at 9:20 p.m. at Town Center Park. If it's raining, the U.S. Army Field band concert, scheduled for 7:15 p.m. Friday at the park formerly known as Meadowbrook Golf Course, will be in the Hamden High auditorium, and the fireworks will be Saturday night.
Here's the rub: The Hamden Volunteer Fire Fighters sponsor the fireworks and do the fundraising thereof. However, Chairman Karl Olson is reporting that donations are down for the $25,000 event and more than $7,000 still needs to be raised. They will be passing the hat at the fireworks. Please do your best to help. I know I will be.
