Appling County sets July 2 for annual fireworks show
Summary
The Appling County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously May 3 to hold the county fireworks show on Saturday, July 2, 2022, citing lower vendor costs for that date. The motion was moved by Commissioner Charlie Leggett and seconded by Commissioner Theodore Wilkerson.
The Appling County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to hold the county's annual fireworks show on Saturday, July 2, 2022, after staff said the cost would be lower for that date.
Interim County Manager Mike Deal told the board that the cost for the fireworks was substantially cheaper on July 2, a Saturday, and recommended approving that date. Commissioner Charlie Leggett moved to set the show for July 2; Commissioner Theodore Wilkerson seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
Why it matters: choosing July 2 moves the event off the July 4 holiday and, according to staff, reduces vendor costs. The minutes do not record a location or a final contracted cost; those details were not specified in the meeting record.
What's next: the board indicated the date approval will allow staff to finalize arrangements with the fireworks vendor and any related logistics. No additional budget figure or contract award was included in the minutes.
