Scofield sets $12,000 fireworks budget for Pleasant Valley Days
Summary
Scofield Town Council voted to allocate $12,000 for the town's Pleasant Valley Days fireworks show in 2026 after discussing past costs, drought constraints, and alternative light shows for dry conditions.
Scofield Town Council approved a $12,000 budget for the town’s 2026 Pleasant Valley Days fireworks show during its Feb. 9 meeting.
Discussion opened with background on recent fireworks budgets — council members said the town has spent about $10,000 in recent years — and concerns that drought conditions could restrict pyrotechnics this year. Unidentified Speaker 1 noted drought was a consideration and suggested a laser light show as an alternative if burning restrictions apply. Another speaker referenced the town’s upcoming 250th national anniversary as a reason the town might consider larger displays.
After brief discussion about vendor timing and state apportionments for anniversary celebrations, Unidentified Speaker 2 moved to fund the show at $12,000; the motion passed by voice vote ('Aye').
Council members asked staff to look into possible state funding and to confirm vendor scheduling; no further conditions or amendments to the motion were recorded in the transcript.
