Town of North Smithfield
July 20th, 2018 Edition
Message from Town Administrator
Gary Ezovski

Comments from people who were there indicate the fireworks show that Council President John Beauregard initiated, some great business partners funded, and our town safety personnel supported last Saturday night were enjoyed by all who attended. If you missed them, you might want to use this link to see a video of the finale.    https://photos.app.goo.gl/6HJbE1FYQA8ZLBQ36

On behalf of the entire Town Council and the citizens of NS, I want to thank the business sponsors who are listed below.  It is also important to recognize that bringing explosives into an area crowded with people on a warm summer night is something that requires safety planning and responsible monitoring. The teams in our fire department, police department, emergency management agency, public works department, school maintenance personnel, and North Smithfield’s own Bob Mowry of the state bomb squad all had a hand in setting up and monitoring the event to make it nothing but fun for those who attended. Finally, to my knowledge, every one of the people who attended respected the caution tape and other barriers that were set up for safety purposes or just to protect our turf field from potential damage by lawn chairs or food. North Smithfield at its best! Business, government and people working together is how we do best. Thanks to all.
North Smithfield's First Ever Fireworks Display was a huge success.
Thank you to the following sponsors:

  • Kohl's
  • Navigant Credit Union
  • Brigido's Market
  • Kelly, Souza, Rocha, and Parmenter, P.C.
  • Green Development, LLC.
  • Holliston Sand Company
