Summary
Missoula’s City Council narrowly voted 6-5 to block the PaddleHeads from firing fireworks on July 3rd, sparking a creative twist: a drone show replaces the fireworks that night, while the traditional fireworks return on the 4th. The team and city teamed up to keep the celebration alive, turning a setback into a tech-forward spectacle with food trucks and music. Council members debated noise concerns versus public celebration, while a Town Pump grant funded the event to discourage illegal fireworks. The compromise? Two nights of fun, just not the way they originally planned. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
