Help Fund the Fabulous Fireworks Celebration to bring in 2013!
by Jenny Chissus
Thank you to the many folks who sponsor our annual New Year’s Eve Fireworks Show! Every year it is a time when the whole community gathers to bring in the new year together, as friends and family.
The Swicks are leaving the day after Christmas to purchase the fireworks up in Anchorage and are hopeful to have the continued support of the community to make it happen! This is often a show that lasts over 20 minutes, and costs a pretty penny! However, if a lot of folks give a little – we can reach the goal. Typically, the Swicks spend $3,500 to $4,000 to create a spectacular show – and every bit helps!
Enjoy the reminder below of the display we had last year – and a glimpse of the spectacular event we have to look forward to – bringing in 2013!
Please support this great Seldovia tradition, and give a call to Roberta and Alvin Swick 234-7473 before December 26th, 2012! It is not too late!
Please make sure to catch up with them before they leave on the 26th, as whatever funds they have at that time will be the only budget they will spend for the event. Thank You so much for being a part of this great celebration!
We’ll see you at the Fireworks Show on December 31st – midnight!

“The U. S. Small Business Administration is strongly committed to providing Alaska with the most effective and customer-focused response possible, and we will be there to provide access to federal disaster loans to help finance recovery for residents and businesses affected by the disaster,” said Mills. “Getting our businesses and communities up and running after a disaster is our highest priority at SBA.”
“Low-interest federal disaster loans are available to homeowners, renters, businesses of all sizes and private, nonprofit organizations whose property was damaged or destroyed by this disaster,” said SBA’s Alaska District Director Karen N. Forsland. “Beginning January 4, SBA Continue Reading
