This Year's Fireworks Longer, and Set to Music

Lake Saint Louis' Independence Day fireworks display promises to be bigger and better than ever.

Sponsored by the Ambassadors, as they have for the past 30 years, the fireworks will begin at 9:15 p.m. Monday night. This year, the pyrotechnics will be accompanied by a musical score, which onlookers can hear by tuning to 90.1 on their FM radio. The very first song of the evening, at the beginning of the display, will be sung by the third grade choir from Green Tree Elementary School.

The fireworks are launched from the road near the dam, on the north side of town. The display will be almost ten minutes longer than last year's 18-minute display.

As you enjoy this year's fireworks display, the Ambassadors would ask that you consider making a donation so that the tradition of fireworks for Lake Saint Louis' Fourth of July celebration can continue. The display is funded by donations from residents and businesses, as well as the fund-raising efforts of events like the Annual Golf Classic.

Donations have been down for funding next year's fireworks. Donations can be sent to LSL Ambassadors, Fireworks Fund, 100 Cognac Ct., Lake Saint Louis, MO 63367. You can also donate online by PayPal or with a credit card. Just go to the Ambassadors' Donate page on their website.
