Dear Neighbors and Friends,
I hope this letter finds you all healthy and well – truly an extraordinary time that has presented both challenges and silver linings. I am sorry to announce that KABOOM will not be hosting a fireworks show on Lake Minnewashta this year. In conjunction with the Carver County Park, the decision was made to forgo the fireworks for the safety of our lake community and the thousands of park visitors who visit the park each July 4th. The decision also supports the COVID Executive Order 20- 38 from Governor Walz addressing the need for social distancing with outdoor recreational activities and is consistent with the decision by Excelsior to cancel their fireworks show on Lake Minnetonka.
On a positive note, I have been informed that Chanhassen will have their annual fireworks display and are adding 50% more powder to their pyrotechnics to get the show higher for more communities to experience. Our hope is that we can all enjoy the Chanhassen show safely from our respective beaches/boats.
Coordinating the fireworks for our community with your support is a joy – our tradition hopefully will be back next year. In the meantime, enjoy summer, stay safe and bestow peace!
Kind regards, Beth Ginther
