REND LAKE — The annual Fourth of July Rend Lake Fireworks will not happen next year.

According to a post on the Benton–West City Chamber of Commerce Facebook page, the event has unfortunately become both a financial and physical burden on the Chamber and is not an event it can continue to uphold without more help. The Chamber has reached out to other avenues for financial assistance or volunteers to work the event with little success.

If any other organization would like to look into partnering or taking over and continuing the event in 2021, the Chamber is more than happy to share all event information. Contact the Chamber at 438-2121.
