Update: After conserted community backlash to the planned firework display Tokatee canceled the worrisom display but threw a great paty anyway!
Back for 2021, Tokatee golf course, located in the heart of the McKenzie River valley, is holding a family Celebration this Friday July 2nd with music from country star @benruemusic followed by fireworks. When asked if fireworks in the current fire season were a good idea the club reassured concerned locals with this statement:
Please know that a lot of thought and planning has gone into this. The fireworks are in an open area that is fully irrigated and will be wetted before and after the show. Hose lines will be laid and fully charged around the perimeter. The show has also been modified from years past. We want to entire community to have a fun experience and some form of normalcy. With that said we understand that some members of our community may remain uncomfortable and choose not to attend. Our hope is that they will still come take part in the celebration but leave before dark and the start of the show.
