I was approached yesterday by long time Osakis resident Chad Mullenhart with backing from Juettner Ford to donate the $2500 for the fireworks. I informed him it would have to be presented to the city council as there is a liability waiver that needs to be signed by both parties.
His offer was presented to the city today and the donations were refused. Their claim is that there is not enough time to change the venue. The golf course was already prepared to hold the fireworks so no extra time is needed on our part. Enough said.
A big thank you goes out to Chad and Juettner Ford for making a noble offer to try and save a long standing tradition in Osakis.
