Jamestown  (CSi)  Jamestown Tourism Director Searle Swedlund reminds residents that the public fireworks display will be held the evening of JULY 3RD, starting about 10:30-p.m., at the Stutsman County Fairgrounds.

On Tuesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, he said, Jamestown Speedway has a negotiated a contract with the fireworks show, and has obtained a sponsor for paying for part of the $11,000 costs with a sponsor.  He added that the cost of a fireworks show is somewhat less if it’s not held on the 4th of July, although the cost this year is a thousand dollars more than last year.

On another note the Drag Races at Jamestown Regional Airport will be held as planned on July 13 and 14, to be held on the airport’s taxiway, as approved by the FAA, which did not allow the drags to be held on the main runway, stemming from recent improvements.

Searle added Buffalo Days activities will be July 25-27 throughout Jamestown, including the downtown parade on Saturday the 27th.

He added that the National Buffalo Museum has added a kids activity room for visitors, adding an increase in attendance at the Museum thus far this year.

He pointed out the 1883 Escape Room is now added at the Historic 1883 Stutsman County Courthouse with the first activity there last week, in addition to the Escape Room now available at Meidinger Square in Downtown Jamestown.
