The City of Saline has scheduled a fireworks show for Saturday, Oct. 9 at Crabtree Field, behind Liberty School.
Activities will begin at 4 p.m., with the fireworks show starting approximately 7:30 p.m.
Children’s activities will include:
There will also be food trucks and music along Thibault Lane.
ACE Pyro LLC, pyrotechnics company out of Manchester, will conduct the fireworks display that includes shells by Yung Feng. The show will consist of more than 1380 shells ranging from 2-5 inches in diameter.
The fireworks show will be coordinated with music playing from an audio system setup for the audience located just east of Crabtree Field.
The "Saline Fall Fireworks Show" is expected to be one of the larger displays in Washtenaw County this year. The show was originally planned for July 4 but moved due to the pandemic.
This year’s fireworks are again being underwritten by Grand Sakwa Homes LLC.
The rain date is Oct. 10.
Residents near the event will receive a letter from the city the week of Sept. 20 reminding them of the accompanying noise factor.
No local streets will be closed for the event. However, Thibault Lane, on the Saline Area Schools campus, will be closed to vehicular traffic, but open to spectators.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 75 and low of 63 degrees. Overcast during the morning, patchy rain nearby during the afternoon, mist overnight.
Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
