San Andreas Rotary Club receives $4000 for community fireworks celebration

Calaveras County's Board of Supervisors made a significant decision during their recent meeting on May 13, 2025, approving a $4,000 allocation to the San Andreas Rotary Club to support the continuation of the community fireworks display at Hogan. This decision comes after the previous organizers, the boosters, stepped back from the event, raising concerns about its future.

The allocation was presented as an action item by the administrative office, with strong support from board members who recognized the importance of the fireworks display to the community. Supervisor Ben expressed gratitude towards the San Andreas Rotary Club for stepping in to ensure the event continues, highlighting its role in drawing crowds and fostering community spirit. The fireworks display, scheduled for the Saturday before July 4, serves as a festive lead-up to Independence Day celebrations, making it a cherished tradition for residents and visitors alike.

The motion to approve the funding was met with unanimous support, passing with a 5-0 vote. This decision not only secures the future of the fireworks but also reinforces the county's commitment to supporting local organizations that contribute to community events.

In addition to the fireworks funding, the meeting included discussions on other agenda items, but the allocation to the Rotary Club stood out as a key highlight, reflecting the board's focus on community engagement and support. As the county moves forward, the successful execution of this event will be a testament to the collaborative efforts of local organizations and government support.
