The Paola Chamber of Commerce hosts this annual event for the people of the greater Paola area. This is normally held before the Fourth so as not to compete with surrounding communities who schedule their fireworks for that evening. Donations are accepted at the gates to pay for the next year's fireworks. All funds are put into a dedicated special savings account that is used only for this event.
