GFD Fireworks Spectacular is July 3

by Rachel Hunter

The Gouverneur Volunteer Fire Department is celebrating 146 years of service to Gouverneur and the surrounding areas by hosting the largest, most spectacular, and longest fireworks held in the North Country on Wednesday, July 3rd at dusk. This show is only possible due to the generous contributions from local sponsors. The gates will open at 5 p.m. at the Gouverneur and St. Lawrence County Fairgrounds. Admission is a donation to the Gouverneur Volunteer Fire Department.

All North Country residents and visitors are urged to support the local vendors on site, selling pulled pork, Italian sausage, poutine, hamburgers, hot dogs, BBQ, pizza, fried dough, fresh cut fries, cotton candy, candy apples, popcorn, cheesecake on a stick, toys, glow sticks, and much more. Be on the lookout for firemen selling 50-50 tickets, which will also be available for purchase at the firemen’s tent.

“We wish everyone a safe holiday and enjoy the show,” the Gouverneur Fire Department said in a news release.

Mark your calendars for the Gouverneur Fire Department’s Fireworks Spectacular on July 3.
