2010 ONEOK FreedomFest Set

Tulsa - The Tulsa RiverParks Authority announces its Independence Day celebration plans Tuesday.

ONEOK FreedomFest returns to the area around Zink Lake June 29th through July 4th. Key corporate sponsorships and donations will ensure that the show will go on with no money coming from a tight city budget.

More than $100,000 dollars is needed to hold the celebration. RiverParks officials say the organization is still soliciting donations. They hope to raise the remaining $8,000 from donors and small citizen donations by way of utility bills. 8 Talkback:

Folks who attended last year's fireworks show will remember that it was a bit of a dud. An explosives tubes fell over, igniting a whole trailer of fireworks and ending the show just after it began.

RiverParks executive director Matt Meyer says the Missouri company that was hired didn't get any more money beyond it's initial, non-refundable deposit of 25 percent.

"This year we went through another 'request for proposals' process and selected Zambelli Fireworks, which is one of the oldest and largest American fireworks companies, and not the one from last year," he said.

The show will feature fireworks synchronized to music that will be broadcast over Tulsa radio station 92.9 FM. News Channel 8 is a proud sponsor of ONEOK FreedomFest and will air the grand finale during our 10:00 p.m. broadcast.
