Lottery for Fireworks Booth Permit
The Roseville Fire Department held a lottery this morning for the eleven available fireworks booth permits. The Roseville Aquatics Booster Club (RATBC) was not selected. There were 54 organizations entered into the lottery, so our chance of winning was about 20%.
The permits are good for five years and there are only fifteen made available, so it appears we will be out of the fireworks business for awhile. The Roseville Sugarbears were fortunate to be selected twice (back-to-back) before. We have had a fireworks booth for the past ten years. Next year, two more permits will become available, but with about forty organizations expected to apply, our chances of being selected next year decrease to 5%.
But, as Sugarbears have come to learn, as one door closes another door opens.
We can now focus our fundraising efforts in a new direction and perhaps establish a new tradition which will ultimately provide us with even more fun and control while we bring in the green stuff.
For now, our key fundraisers we have established are the following:
Also consider asking your employer and local businesses to be a Sponsor of the Roseville Sugarbears.
Details and instructions for eScrip and Sponsors are available on our website under "Ways and Means"
Thank you for your support!
