The Blairsville-Union County Chamber of Commerce organizes the fireworks each year with funds contributed by sponsors for the event. This year the area businesses are all feeling the effects of the down economy and weren't able to contribute as much for this fantastic annual fireworks display. The Chamber was able to reduce the cost of the fireworks by holding them on the first night of the Fourth of July weekend instead, which turns out to be July 3rd.
