Each year Brady Realtors approaches the community in an effort to give Clinton residents a local fireworks display for the 4th of July. Camille Tedrick with Brady Realtors explain each year they head the work for bringing a display to the community and once arrangements have been made, they approach community members and businesses to help financially support a show in Clinton.

Each year, Tedrick works with a company in Lincoln to provide them with fireworks. She says they are great partners and despite the cost of fireworks going up, they continue to give Brady Realtors a good deal each year.

The goal for this year's show is $67-hundred. Tedrick notes they have struggled in recent years to make that mark, so they are keeping it steady. She adds with the economy the way it is, it is harder and harder to rely on businesses in the community, so they have been heavily relying on community members support.

Tedrick is asking the community to give $5 or $10 or whatever amount they can to provide the community with Fourth of July Fireworks this year.

Brady Realtors has sent out letters to those in the community to provide donations. Soon at your local grocery stores and gas stations, there will be change buckets for shoppers to drop spare change in for the display. Tedrick says all that spare change can really add up. Tedrick thanks Jerry and Mary Ryan for donating their land for the fireworks to be shot from.

The City of Clinton once again this year will donate $3-thousand to the display.

If you would like to donate money, you can stop by Brady Realtors office on the Downtown Clinton Square.
