We wish to express much gratitude to Chairman George Jarvis and the Fireworks Fundraising Committee who have worked extremely hard to see that our Independence Day Celebration tradition continues in Montgomery Township.
"Most of all, the spectacular fireworks will be the star of the show! My thanks to our corporate sponsors, who support us year after year, and help ensure that the Montgomery Fireworks provide joy and fun to our entire community!" Mr. Jarvis concluded.
