June 3, 2020 – Kewaskum, WI – A busy week for the Kewaskum Village Board which met again in a special meeting this Wednesday afternoon to again take up the issue of July 3 fireworks.
See the note from Village President Kevin Scheunemann below.
Fireworks vote at special Village Board meeting this PM was 5 yes, 0 no, 2 abstaining to hold fireworks on July 3.
The only change will be: Reigle Park will be launching point. Reigle Park will be closed to public and Police Chief Tom Bishop will restrict parking and street access near Reigle Park as he deems necessary.
I discourage large crowds from gathering anywhere in the Village, without social distancing, River Hill Park and Kiwanis Park will be open for viewing. I am hopeful there will be other exciting announcements, in relation to other public viewing opportunities, soon, in relation to this event.
Thank you. Kevin Scheunemann
Earlier this week the Village Board voted 4-3 to cancel fireworks this year. The next day Trustee Jim Wright had a change of heart.
A special meeting was called for Wednesday, June 3 where the board reconsidered and the fireworks issue passed by majority 5 -0 with 2 abstaining including Dave Spenner and Richard Laubach.
