BANDON — Gasoline isn’t the only thing costing more these days. The Bandon fireworks display does, too.

For the city of Bandon and the chamber of commerce, that’s put a little pain in plans to send fireworks soaring into the sky over the Coquille River at nightfall on Friday. The 30-minute fireworks show will cost $3,000 more this year than the $10,000 the community paid out last year, said Bandon Chamber Executive Director Julie Miller. She is asking people in the community to donate to help make up the difference.

Bandon’s volunteer fire department has set off the display for years, launching rockets from Bullards Beach. The fire department has several trained fire technicians, who have been hired by the city to set off the fireworks, but the cost of the fireworks, insurance and hiring the technicians has added up to a bigger bill.

Those who wish to help raise the extra money can deposit Ray’s Food Place receipts in cans located at each checkout. Ray’s will donate 1 percent of the total of those receipts to the fireworks display. Donations also can be made at the Chamber of Commerce on Second Street, or at City Hall, 555 Highway 101.
