\n\n\;
\n\nThe Jim Thorpe Tourism Agency is proud to announce a partnership between the JTTA and Sam Miller Field to produce this year&rsquo\;s Fireworks display and related festivities\, known as the &ldquo\;Jim Thorpe Hometown Festival&rdquo\;.
\n\n\;
\n\nSadly\, earlier this year\, the American Legion announced it was no longer producing the &ldquo\;Stay At Home Festival&rdquo\;\, after years of generous contributions of time\, energy and resources.
\n\n\;
\n\nThe JTTA and community officials then met to discuss the need to continue Fireworks in Jim Thorpe\, agreeing this was an important piece of &ldquo\;the fiber of an American small town&rdquo\;.
\n\n\;
\n\nSam Miller Field then &lsquo\;stepped up to the plate&rsquo\;\, offering to partner and host the event at Sam Miller Field. \;The two organizations met with Jim Thorpe Mayor Michael Sofranko\, and plans began to insure a fireworks display and festival would continue for the residents of Jim Thorpe!
\n\n\;
\n\nThe Festival has been organized as a community event\, and proceeds benefiting Sam Miller Field.
\n\n\;
\n\nThe Festival is planned for Saturday\, July 6th\, at the field\, and features food from participating local organizations\, games\, rides and live music! \;The festivities begin a 12 Noon\, continuing throughout the day\, and culminating with the fireworks show at 10PM! The Festival also continues on Sunday\, July 7th with food\, rides\, games and live music.
