The state House of Representatives on Tuesday overrode Governor Deval Patrick's veto of the $25,000 earmarked for the 2014 "Summer of Celebration" in Wareham, State Rep. Susan Williams Gifford (R-Wareham) confirmed.

The measure now heads to the state Senate for a vote.

The funding was earmarked in a $125 million supplemental 2013 budget the governor signed in mid-July.

The summer of 2014 marks the 275th anniversary of the incorporation of the town and the 200th anniversary of the British attack on Wareham by the HMS Nimrod warship.

A committee has formed to raise money for the events, which will include reenactments, parades, fireworks, and more. Organizers are aiming to raise $75,000 to $100,000.

State Senator Marc Pacheco (D-Taunton) submitted an amendment to the Senate's supplemental budget in June that earmarked $25,000 for the celebration, which organizers said would have been a big help to the effort.

The supplemental budget with the money for Wareham was approved by a joint legislative committee before making its way to the governor's desk.

Patrick disapproved the effort, along with other funding that he deemed "non-essential."
