This podcast is a visit with the organizer of the Kurten fireworks show and community fundraiser Shane Savage and WTAW's Bill Oliver.
The 22nd annual Kurten fourth of July fireworks show and fundraiser is the second year a Bryan area businessowner is in charge of the event.
Shane Savage says this year, they invested in higher grade fireworks and more activities that precede the fireworks show.
Last year, Savage said he distributed around $15,000 dollars to non profit agencies that was collected from a portion of food and vendor sales. He expects to generate more money this year to a different group of non profits.
There is no admission for Friday's event, which starts at 5 p.m. next to the Kurten community center.
