| From the Granite City Park District On behalf of the Granite City Park District and the “Patriots In The Park” committee we regret to announce that the 2020 “Patriots In The Park” Fireworks presentation has been cancelled. First and foremost the decision is based on the health and safety of our community. Based on the size of the event, even if allowed, social distancing would be impossible. Additionally, making the decision now will lessen our contractual obligation and the financial impact on the Park District. The current situation has taken a toll financially on the Park District and that it would be irresponsible to take such a risk at this time. We also believe that our fund raising efforts would be difficult if not impossible. And finally with so many other local fireworks shows being cancelled, we fear that if we proceed with the presentation we would have a significant increase in our audience putting additional strain on our emergency services and our residents. We are still working toward having a festival of some sort but we are unsure what that may include. We are very proud of our festival and are grateful to our many wonderful sponsors for their years of support and looking forward to working together. |
