| No More Celebration of Lights!
Just heard on News1130 that there will NOT be the Celebration of Lights fireworks competition this year because of lack of sponsorship money. I'm sure news articles will come soon...

Wow $4m in sponsor funds = $37m in direct visitor spending... city should be supporting this shit by putting out the leftover funds.

It costs a lot of money to put it on. Clean up being a huge cost. Now if people were more careful....... nah, not gonna happen.

They said that last year, but the fireworks still happened. It's too early to know for sure

I am sure if they let Benson and Hedges or any other tobacco company sponsor, it will still be on year after year.

I'm all for tighter regulation but not permitting Benson and Hedges to sponsor is a little dumb.

If here was some way for them to charge people to go, I'd be all for it. Might keep some of the low lives out.

Most people would just watch from farther rather then pay the charge

Yup, last year it was the same thing but they were able to secure funds but I don't think they will this year.
