Presented by Amy Hennion, Sr. Fire Code Inspector, Skyline Kiwanis donated $12,000 for the 4th of July fireworks show.
Members of the Skyline Kiwanis club presented the donation to the City of Longmont. Those present to give the check to the City were Dennis Ogden and members of the Skyline Kiwanis club.
Skyline Kiwanis President, Scott Nix, wishes to make the fireworks show, "the best in the region."
Nix also said, "the fireworks should be funded by the public." This may be the last year Kiwanis Club donates money to the fireworks show, Nix states that funding "shouldn't be through tax payer dollars."
