$6375.00. We extend our gratitude to our sponsors. We are nearing our objective. Extremely close. Our meeting with the Pyrotechnics company representatives confirmed their commitment to delivering a high-quality, family-friendly display. Since a Bicentennial occurs only once, let us collaborate to surpass our target and maximize the event's success.
