BEACHWOOD – An event that brings at least 15,000 viewers is drawing near, and Ocean County residents are preparing for it now.
It’s called Beachwood Fireworks On The Toms River, because it’s organized by Beachwood volunteers and elected officials. It’s just a few weeks away.
Councilman Gerald LaCrosse, who noted his job involves making sure the weather is good for that night, said that the fireworks are planned for dusk on July 4.
Residents are likely making plans on where to meet or where to set up their chairs and blankets, but there’s something else they could do to help prepare as well.
Although local officials are heavily involved in the planning of the fireworks, it’s not paid for by tax dollars. Rather, it relies on donations.
Checks can be made out to Beachwood Fireworks On The Toms River, and mailed to the municipal building at 1600 Pinewald Road, Beachwood, NJ 08722.
