The same southeast Iowa company that has provided the 4th of July firework show in Newton for many years is set to do it again. The City of Newton has a $15,000 contract with J&M of Yarmouth for this year’s Fourth of July fireworks. The contract includes several discounts available to the city. If paid in full by April 25th, the City gets an 8% prepayment bonus in fireworks products provided at the show. Additionally, the City of Newton continues to receive a 15% loyalty program discount. City staff says this year’s July 4th fireworks show will be similar in length and scale to last year’s show.
