Conyers Council approves $30K fireworks display contract for Red White and Boom

Youth Art Month was a focal point at the Conyers City Council meeting on February 19, 2025, as officials proclaimed March as a month to celebrate and support the artistic endeavors of local students. The council emphasized the importance of partnerships between Rockdale County public schools and local arts organizations, highlighting how these collaborations foster a love for art among youth and strengthen the community.

In a spirited discussion, council members encouraged citizens to actively support quality school art programs, reinforcing the message that art connects everyone in various aspects of life. The proclamation aims to inspire greater community involvement in youth artistic initiatives.

Additionally, the council approved a fireworks display agreement with Southern Sky Fireworks for the upcoming Red, White, and Boom event. The contract, valued at $30,000, marks a shift to a new vendor, which officials believe will enhance the fireworks experience despite a slight increase in cost compared to the previous year. The council expressed optimism that this change would deliver a more impressive display, promising attendees a bigger and better celebration.

As the city gears up for both Youth Art Month and the fireworks event, the council's decisions reflect a commitment to enriching community culture and providing memorable experiences for residents.
