Since at least the early 1950's, LHYC has sponsored the annual Fourth of July fireworks display.  Until very recently, this display was fully funded by the Lake Hopatcong Yacht Club as a service to the community.  Due to changes in fireworks regulations, about 11 years ago the display was required to move from the LH YC docks to a barge display in the middle of the lake.  While safer and allowing for a larger display, the change required renting, transporting, and launching 4 barges, approximately doubling the cost of the display.  (In order to ease concerns about locating barges, and to significantly reduce transportation costs, the Club purchased four barges last year.)  Fortunately, annual fund raising efforts have been successful in offsetting these increased costs, although LHYC continues to finance about 50% of the total costs of the display.  The municipalities, businesses, and individuals below were kind enough to contribute to the fireworks display last year, and most have already signed up again this year as sponsors.  We thank them all for their support.  If you would like to contribute, please send an email to fireworks@lhyc.com, and we will be glad to contact you.

The 2010 Fireworks once again went off in beautiful weather.  Many thanks to the committee and donors for making this happen.  We are already making plans for the 2011 show, and hope to see you there!
