Main Street Wellington takes reins
for village’s July 4th Celebration

It’s official. Main Street Wellington will be coordinating the
village’s long-standing traditional July 4th celebration. They
will continue the Patriot’s Symphonic Band Concert and Com-
munity Ice Cream Social on July 3rd, with help from sponsors Wide Fit $50 Cushioned Arch $42 Maximum Realignment $50
Mike Sunderman of Edward Jones and Village Market/Apples.
However, the evening’s fireworks and the events on July 4th
were coordinated by the Wellington Area Chamber of Com-
merce for decades.
In February, the Chamber decided to dissolve the organiza-
tion. The Chamber, along with Mayor Hans Schneider, asked if
Main Street Wellington would take the helm. A group of vol-
unteers spanning a variety of organizations and businesses has
stepped up to help the non-profit with the huge undertaking.
The committee’s main goal is to make the fireworks display
longer and add some exciting new twists for Independence Day
in Wellington. The commitment from others to help enabled the
Main Street Wellington board to approve the new events and
accept the role of fiscal agent for July 4th.
“Many of us have struggled the past two years with the Ball of Foot Pain $50 Support & Cushion $50 For Kids $48
COVID pandemic and are now challenged by inflation. Despite
the loss and pain, we have seen the beauty of collaboration and
resilience of the community that has helped others in greater
need. What better way to celebrate the positives than on the
3rd and 4th of July with music, fireworks, games, food and fel-
lowship?” said Jenny Arntz, Main Street Wellington Executive
Director.
Arntz invites interested organizations, businesses and com-
munity members to the next committee meeting at 9 a.m. on
Monday, April 11, at Main Street Wellington. For those who
cannot make the meeting, please contact Main Street Welling-
ton for a list of sub-committee meeting times. The group is also
actively pursuing sponsorships and scheduling vendors to grow
the festivities. Watch www.mainstreetwellington.org for the
schedule and more information.
