City, 4th of July Committee reach agreement for 4th of July fireworks

Robert Perea, The Fernley Reporter

The Fernley 4th of July Fireworks are back on.

The City of Fernley and the Fernley 4th of July Committee have reached an agreement that will allow the committee to host a fireworks show.

The committee had announced on May 24 that it was canceling the annual 4th of July celebration because the city would not issue permits for the use of the Out of Town Park.

However, Mayor Roy Edgington, the City Council and the committee came to an agreement to allow the fireworks show to continue.

In order to comply with social distancing guidelines, parking will be spaced out with room between cars, the grass area of the Out of Town Park will be closed and off limits. Viewers will need to remain in or within arms length of their cars,

There will be a special VIP Parking area available. It will be located in the best viewing area and spots will be reserved. The cost for the VIP area is $25 per car. Proceeds will be used to supplement for next year’s event to help make up for lost revenue from this year. Those who sign up for a VIP spot will receive a SWAG bag, but only have 50 spots will be available. You can request and purchase a VIP spot by responding to the Facebook post an the Fernley 4th of July page.

Fireworks will begin at approximately 9:30 p.m., depending on the wind. Listen to Biggest Little Radio 101.3 FM for updates.

In order to make the event possible, volunteers are needed. Anyone willing to help on July 3, 4 or 5 is asked to send a direct message to the Fernley 4th of July Facebook page.

A pebble loose in the water part (replacing all concrete) 4. Hurricane Polo makes a sudden turn and blows off the roof (again). With soft muscles after 7 months of no swimming, the only health left is my sense of humor :) Comment publication date: 10/1/26, 11:18 AM Comment source: Fernley Pool Renovation Moves Forward, One Test at a Time Comment author: PFB Comment text: Why can't you guys find competent contractors.. For a large municipal facility like the indoor-outdoor Fernley Swimming Pool located at 300 Cottonwood Lane, a complete ground-up commercial build or major structural renovation typically spans 6 to 12 months or longer when factoring in large-scale engineering, public municipal permitting, specialized commercial HVAC/roofing, and health department inspections. The current renovation has been- The Fernley Swimming Pool has been closed for approximately six to seven months since late February 2026 for a major roof replacement and facility renovation. Now you sat October. Soooo 8 months for a new roof. The picture shows no other renovations.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.
