BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - The Annual Bowling Green Community Fourth of July Fireworks event is just a few short weeks away, and the Bowling Green State University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is opening Doyt L. Perry Stadium for the occasion. Community members and other interested parties are invited to attend the Fourth of July celebration and watch the fireworks display from inside 'The Doyt.'
"We are glad to have this opportunity to partner with the community for this holiday celebration," said BGSU Director of Athletics Greg Christopher. "The Fourth of July Fireworks display is always a special event in Bowling Green. This year's event is even larger in scale, as we celebrate not only our nation's freedom, but also the City of Bowling Green's 175th Anniversary."
The Perry Stadium gates will open at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, July 4, and the field will be open to the public until 8:30 p.m. Fans interested in bringing footballs to throw, Frisbees to toss, or simply in walking on the FieldTurf are encouraged to do so.
At 8:30 p.m., members of the Bowling Green Community Band, under the direction of Nick Ezzone, will perform a free concert. The fireworks are scheduled to follow, beginning at approximately 9:45 p.m.
No outside food, beverages or sparklers will be allowed into the stadium. The stadium concession stands will be open to the public.
For more information on the Fourth of July event, contact the Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce via phone (419-353-7945) or on the web (www.bgchamber.net).
