8 Man Football Pep Rally
Last Friday the 2nd Annual 8 Man Football Pep Rally took place in Downtown Beloit. The weather was perfect and the ice cream and cookies were gone in no time! There was a great turnout and everyone was entertained by the football players, coaches, local dance club and the high school dance team. The Chamber would like to again personally thank the following sponsors for supporting this event. This pep rally could not have been possible without their help. Thank you!

Waconda Lake Fireworks!
Mark your calendars!!! 
Fireworks at Waconda Lake 
Saturday July 6th at dusk around 9:30ish
One of the greatest 4th of July traditions that we share in North Central Kansas is the fireworks display at Waconda Lake. Unfortunately, this tradition is in great jeopardy of not being able to continue due to the lack of an interested party to organize the event. For the last several years, the fireworks display at Waconda Lake has been a huge draw and very well attended. Therefore, the newly formed Waconda Lake Fireworks Association has taken on the task to bring this even back to our area lake.
The Waconda Lake Fireworks Association has completed arrangements for a spectacular fireworks display at dusk (approximately 9:30 pm) on Saturday, July 6, 2013 and we are asking for your help and financial support. This fireworks display will be enjoyed by many area residents, but it cannot be continued without donations, as our association is an all-volunteer, non-profit association.
Our fundraising goal for this fireworks display in 2013 is $7,000. This includes fees for the professional pyrotechnics of Rainbow Fireworks, insurance, permit fees, and advertising. Attached is a form which outlines sponsorship opportunities.
We hope you consider supporting this exciting venture and tradition.
The committee feels that the Waconda Lake Fireworks Display will benefit not only our area community members but area businesses as well.
Thank You.
Heather Johnson
Waconda Lake Fireworks Association, Chairman
S&S Drug, Office Manager
