National Tom Sawyer Days

Fireworks

JULY 4TH AT DUSK

The Hannibal Jaycees take great pride in presenting Hannibal with a beautiful fireworks display each 4th of July.  The show is shot electronically and takes a team of 10-12 men several long hours in the scorching July heat to prepare and shoot the show.  If it wasn’t for the Jaycees’ committed members there would be no show.  The Hannibal Jaycees keep up all safety regulations through classes, tests and certifications, contact the Coast Guard, ATF and city officials for the appropriate permits and licenses and have the fire department on the shoot site.  Shooting the display is half of the process.  The other half of fireworks is raising the $17,000 it costs to provide the show.  Fundraising for fireworks begins in January.  The Hannibal Jaycees rely solely on donations from local businesses and individuals to help pay for the display. 

The Jaycees make up any differences between the cost of the show and money raised.  If you would like to send a donation to help fund the fireworks display, please send your donation to Hannibal Jaycees Fireworks Funds, POB 484, Hannibal, MO  63401. 

The Hannibal Jaycees hope you enjoy this year!   (Ooh’s and aah’s welcomed!)
