City selects new fireworks vendor
“We have a new fireworks vendor, so hopefully the comment section will be a little quiet that night, because for the last two years, trust me, we were with you as well,” city commissioner Joshua Simmons said during the June 17 meeting.
“[Former] Vice Mayor [Nancy] Metayer ... would be very happy that we would actually get a good firework show this year, because the last couple years she was not.”
The show will begin at 8:45 p.m., weather permitting.
The Coral Springs News reached out to city officials for more details on the new supplier, but has not heard back as of June 29.
