Sometimes you just have to step up when assistance is needed.
That’s what Mary Kuntz of Leland did last week. Kuntz learned that the annual fireworks display, part of the annual 4th of July activities, may go away this year.
Why? Because the Leland Chamber of Commerce’s biggest fundraiser, the annual Wine & Food Festival in June has been canceled. Historically, the event has been hosted in the parking lot of the Leland Harbor. However, the venue was changed in 2022 and 2023 to the Leland Lodge due to construction in Fishtown. The Lodge is no longer an option and the township’s Harbor Commission rejected the proposal as the site is “no longer a suitable site for the wine festival, ” citing restrictions in place by the Department and Environmental Quality and Waterways Commission.
