MAYOR STEWART ENCOURAGES NEW BRITAIN AREA RESIDENTS TO JOIN INTERNET EFFORTS TO SAVE JULY 4TH FIREWORKS
New Britain Mayor Timothy Stewart today urged New Britain area residents that were disappointed with the announcement earlier this week that budget cuts had forced the cancellation of this year’s July 4th fireworks to support an online campaign for funding from Liberty Mutual Insurance.
“Liberty Mutual Insurance’s ‘Bring Back the 4th Contest’ (see attached press release issued earlier by local Liberty Mutual representatives with contest details) is giving communities across the country like New Britain that cannot afford July 4th celebrations the chance to compete for one of ten $10,000 grants to fund fireworks,” Stewart said today. “This wonderful community spirited program by Liberty Mutual gives New Britain a chance to have fireworks this year despite our dire financial situation,” Stewart continued.
“Should New Britain be the winner of this online contest, I will ensure that the City would find the funds for fireworks, although it would be a scaled down event without the bands and other entertainment normally provided with the annual ‘Great American Boom’”, said Stewart.
Stewart concluded, “I encourage everyone who is interested in seeing fireworks in New Britain this year to go to http://www.BringBackThe4th.com and participate in the contest and ask your family and friends to do the same.”
