Check out antique fire truck and fundraise for fireworks
Visit Walmart and Stop & Shop on Cranberry Highway in East Wareham on May 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to check out a 1932 Maxim Pumper fire truck and help fill a pair of fire boots with donations for the annual Onset-Wareham Fireworks display.
The annual fireworks display is funded through donations from individuals, businesses, and community organizations. The Onset-Wareham Fireworks Committee is working to raise approximately $20,000 for the display, which is scheduled for Saturday, July 7, at dusk. July 14 is the scheduled rain date.
The fire truck is owned by Wareham firefighter Howard Smith, husband of Town Moderator Claire Smith, who is on the fireworks committee helping to raise funds for the display.
A fundraiser will also be held at Mezza Luna Restaurant, located at 253 Main Street in Buzzards Bay, on June 7 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The event will feature complimentary hors d'oeuvres, a 50/50 raffles, and an auction. A donation of $10 is suggested.
If you would like to donate to the fireworks display via mail, checks can be made out to “Town of Wareham Fireworks Fund” and mailed to P.O. Box 799, Onset, MA 02558.
