LAKEPORT, Calif. – Robinson Rancheria is pitching in to assist the city of Lakeport in paying for its annual July 4 fireworks display.

At the Lakeport City Council's meeting May 20, Tribal Chair Nicholas Medina and David Rose, general manager of the tribe's casino, presented Mayor Kenny Parlet with a $4,000 check.

Parlet called the donation “a nice enhancement” to the effort to raise the $16,500 needed to pay for the fireworks.

The annual fireworks display draws thousands of people to Lake County.  

This year’s display, produced by Pyro Spectaculars, will feature hundreds of fireworks and is slated to begin at 9:30 p.m. on Friday, July 4.  

The fireworks will be set off over Clear Lake from a barge on the lake.
