as posted by the channel#melaleuca #fireworks #eastidahonews
Idaho Falls Mayor Lisa Burtenshaw and Bonneville County Commissioner Michelle Mallard were at Melaleuca for the announcement and thanked VanderSloot for his contribution to the community.
"We are really, really fortunate that we have a company like Melaleuca, who has given the community so much joy on the Fourth of July for so many years," Mallard told EastIdahoNews.com. "Idaho Falls is where it's at for the Fourth of July. The world has discovered our community and it's still the best place in the world to be on the Fourth of July."
VanderSloot said Melaleuca will be happy to provide the fireworks for future shows if a suitable venue can be found. For now, Burtenshaw believes a smaller display could take place at the old location.
"For the next few years, I'm sure the fireworks will go back to Johns Holes Bay along the Greenbelt where we used to do it," Burtenshaw said. "It won't be able to be as big as Melaleuca has been able to put on recently, but we will do some things to create new traditions down around the Greenbelt and maybe a little nostalgia."
