The approved proposal will put the city into a contract with Rainbow Fireworks out of Inman, Kansas. Two different proposals were put forward, one that would see the cost rise from last year's show but essentially keep the same show, or one that would cost the city the same amount as last year but would result in a smaller show.

 

The commission decided on the former, with a donor previously offering to cover the difference in cost between the two proposals.

As of now, the fireworks have not been postponed, but the city will need to let Rainbow Fireworks know by June 20th if the show needs to be moved.
