KINGSTON — Fundraising for the Kingston 4th of July celebration is going well, but the committee still needs $10,000, organizer Pete DeBoer said.

The Kingston 4th of July celebration relies on local business sponsorship and community donations. The committee has raised about $20,000 in the past two months, thanks to individual donations and fundraisers, such as Kingston Dental, and the Kingston Kiwanis and Rotary clubs.

The Cup & Muffin recently held a takeover, where every $1 taken in on May 25 was donated to the celebration. Amy Anderson, co-owner of the cafe, said $3,320 was donated.

DeBoer said The Point Casino is donating $2,500 for sound production at Mike Wallace Park and Tiny Town, and Main Street Alehouse is also donating funds.

The Kingston Cove Yacht Club will hold a fundraiser on June 14, with dinner, live jazz music and a silent auction. Guests should bring something to donate, such as a bottle of wine or game tickets.

There are envelopes in town businesses for mail-in donations, and the Kingston4thofJuly.com has a link to Paypal. DeBoer said he will soon be selling commemorative 2013 T-shirts to continue to raise money. The shirts will be available mid-June at the Kingston Chamber of Commerce, at the 4th celebrations, or from DeBoer.

The streets fill with families, pets and visitors  to watch the parade, play games at Tiny Town, and sit back in awe as fireworks light up Appletree Cove.

The celebration will kick off on July 3 with Tiny Town, Kingston’s Got Talent and a community open-mic night at Kola Kole Park. The next day, the parade will wind down State Highway 104 to Washington Boulevard. Vendors and live music will be set up at Mike Wallace Park, with local bands such as Blues Counselors, The Hep Replacements, Garage Heros and House of Cards.

Fireworks will be set up on a barge in Appletree Cove; the fireworks show usually begins about 10:30 p.m.
