Deltaville fireworks
Deltaville will offer a community fireworks display this year. The display is tentatively set for around 9:15 p.m. Saturday, July 1, at Deltaville Ballpark. It will follow the 6 p.m. Deltaville Deltas versus Chesapeake Sharks baseball game at the ballpark.
“The fireworks will be shot from the outfield of Deltaville Ballpark, and viewable from all around the ballpark and Deltaville Community Association (DCA) park area,” said Stephen Blue, one of the event’s organizers.
Donations to offset the cost of the fireworks can be made at Hurd’s True Value Hardware store in Deltaville. A GoFundMe page has also been set up or you can mail a check to the Deltaville Community Association (DCA) at P.O. Box 211, Deltaville, VA 23043 with “Fireworks” in the memo. The DCA is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and all donations are tax deductible.
