With July 4 around the corner, Nevada Rural Counties RVSP is planning a spectacular fireworks celebration over Carson City to go along with its 22nd annual holiday carnival at Mills Park.
To mark Nevada’s Sesquicentennial Year, RSVP has contracted with Fireworks by Grucci to provide the best display Carson City has ever seen, said RSVP executive director and CEO Susan Haas. The pyrotechnic outfit holds the current Guinness World Record for a fireworks display in Dubai and has been the fireworks provider at seven presidential inaugurations, multiple Olympic opening ceremonies and many more amazing events.
The program will start with a three-hour radio show with Magic 95.5. Music will be patriotic to pop, with the fireworks show at dusk, typically around 9:15 p.m.
RSVP depends solely on contributions to its Fireworks Fund in order to pay for the the display and is in need of contributors. It is looking for companies, local businesses, families and individual donations, said Haas. Local businesses are encouraged to donate as well and RSVP and will publically thank donors in online, print and radio.
RSVP provides services for Carson City seniors designed to assist them to remain independent and in their own homes with dignity. Programs include services such as escorted transportation, respite care for family caregivers, volunteer companions for frail, homebound seniors, resistance exercise training, homemaker services, pro-bono legal services, mobility management, personal emergency response systems, free Farmer’s Market coupons and more.
Checks should be made out to: RSVP FIREWORKS FUND and mailed to RSVP, PO Box 1708 Carson City, NV 89702. If everyone sends a small donation, RSVP could cover the cost very easily, said Haas. Contributions are tax deductible as RSVP is a 501(C) 3 non-profit service organization.
