Negaunee Fireworks To Continue

One of the highlights of Negaunee's Pioneer Days is the annual fireworks show on Teal Lake. This is the twentieth year of the celebration's pyrotechnics, which is scheduled for Saturday night.
There have been rumors that this is the final Pioneer Days with fireworks because Marty Fountain is stepping down as organizer after this year, but he is setting the record straight.
"We've got two guys that have been with the crew for about 15 years or more that will be here, so I don't see a problem at all. There's a lot of young guys out there that want to help. We'll be going for years to come," says Marty.
He also says that fundraising efforts are steady, but money is always needed since there is also a winter show.
This year's event will also have some new displays in the 20-minute show.
