The show must go on, but without fireworks | Local News

An Independence Day event event set for Saturday south of Killeen, will no longer feature a fireworks show, the event’s main organizer said on Wednesday. The event at 13682 Maxdale Road opens noon Saturday at Farris Wheel Ranch, and will feature food trucks, “family fun” vendors and live bands. Event organizer Bear Jones was also planning to have a fireworks display Saturday night, but that is no longer the case, he said. Farris Wheel Ranch is the second choice for venue, as the Killeen City Council voted 6-1 last week to reject Jones’ bid to hold the large, 25-minute fireworks display at the Killeen Special Events Center. The new location, a ranch owned by Killeen assistant city Manager Ann Farris, was selected as it represented a more rural alternative from which to host a fireworks display.

Killeen City Council discuss possible fireworks display in city

Killeen City Council to discuss project at Killeen airport

The project was described in the staff report on the agenda that outlines the meeting. “The City has been offered (a grant) in the amount of $3,898,271 to fund this project, of which $400 will be allocated for legal advertising, $204,000 for construction administration and management, and other associated costs, and $3,693,871 for the contract itself. Under normal circumstances, AIP grants require a 10% match from the airport sponsor. However, the American Rescue Plan Act, signed into law on March 11, 2021, increases the federal share to 100 percent for AIP grants planned for fiscal year 2021,” the staff report said. Along with the airport project, the council will also be discussing a resolution authorizing a fireworks display on July 3 at the Killeen Special Events Center.
