Not content to just organize a car cruise through Hope this July 1, the Hope Motorsports Group added a cherry (bomb) on top by announcing that they will host a Canada Day fireworks show.
Organizing a fireworks display during a pandemic involves making every effort to ensure people don’t congregate. What this will look like in Hope this July 1 is the fireworks launching from a no-go-zone, entirely fenced off, at the ball fields on 6th Avenue.
The display is a “high elevation fireworks display,” meaning it will be seen from many locations. Hope Motorsports is urging people to stay home if they think they will be able to view the fireworks from where they live. If not, options are to park nearby and watch from a vehicle or, as a last resort, watch from along the fence line while making sure people stay physically distant and stay in their ‘bubble.’
“As always, keep your pets safe, they are safest at home,” organizers urged.
“These might be the only fireworks we see this year so please share this,” the organizers said. “We need to get the good news shared all around Hope and only have a few days to do it. We want everyone that wants to see them to know about the display.”
The fireworks are put on by the motorsports group and sponsored by AdvantageHOPE, Envision Financial, Hope Brigade Days, Hope Lions Club and Hope Towing.
