Cloninger Fireworks event. This event began as a Cloninger family event held onj private property. Due to growth oft the event, approximately 10 years ago the location was moved from Cloninger family property to Cloninger Park in Dallas. At this time, the' Town began funding advertising and live music for the event, as well as donating use oft the park and providing in-kind Town services such as personnel support, porta-johns, and area clean-up. A group of private citizens and business owners historically! have raised funds to pay for the fireworks, performed all preparatory work on the fireworks, and facilitated the fireworks display. Last year, Dallas provided $5,000 for fireworks, in addition to the activities and in-kind services already provided by the Town. MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION: Sponsor the event at the same $5,000.00 level as last year.
