Lacey Fireworks Set To Go Off On July 3 At High School

by Patricia A. Miller

Just like in many recent years, Lacey’s annual Fourth of July weekend fireworks display will come courtesy of Exelon Corporation - the township’s biggest revenue source and the owner of the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station.

Mayor Gary Quinn and Township Committee members accepted an oversize check from Exelon officials at the June 11 caucus meeting.

“Exelon is something we have come to rely on,” Quinn said during the regular meeting. ”Thank God for Exelon.”

During the dark days after the recession in 2008, Lacey did not have the money for a fireworks display, he said.

Exelon has stepped up and paid for all the displays ever since, Quinn said.

The show will start at dusk on July 3 on football field at Lacey Township High School. The rain date, if needed, is July 5.

“It‘s a nice night,“ Quinn said.
