Mankato’s Fourth of July fireworks display is back on after a group of local radio stations announced it will continue the tradition.
“We are going to produce the fireworks and we are going to present the event, but our first mission is to look at raising funds,” said Jo Guck Bailey, vice president and general manager of Minnesota Valley Broadcasting/Radio Mankato.
The group, which owns seven local radio stations, said it plans to raise at least $15,000 for the event.
Greater Mankato Growth, a chamber of commerce and economic development group, has typically solicited business contributions for the fireworks. But contributions have declined in recent years, and Greater Mankato Growth had to use $4,600 of its own money last year.
