Show time – 9:00pm Sunday night – 9-2-07

Howllo Fellow Hound and Fireworks lovers: Every year, for the past 30 years the Ohio River hosts a fireworks show by the famed Rozzi Family.

As of 8:09pm, I cannot find a link for the public. I am trying really hard. It really is a fantastic show and if you attend you will never forget it.

This year, there is a new sponsor, Cincinnati Bell, and they are dedicated to showing the fireworks to the USA troops.

2007 Cincinnati Bell/WEBN Fireworks to be Dedicated to U.S. Troops and going GLOBAL!

CINCINNATI – July 20, 2007 – As the new title sponsor of the WEBN Fireworks, Cincinnati Bell (NYSE:CBB) is doing more than simply sponsoring the annual Cincinnati Labor Day tradition. The hometown company is dedicating the 2007 fireworks event to the men and women of the U.S. armed forces who serve our country locally and worldwide.

“Our troops continually go above and beyond to protect our great country, and this serves as a small way to show our appreciation for their personal sacrifices,” said Jack Cassidy, President and CEO of Cincinnati Bell.

In addition to dedicating the fireworks to the troops, Cincinnati Bell has established opportunities for the Tri-State to give back to these individuals and their families through contributions to the USO. Cincinnati Bell Wireless customers will be able to participate in the “Download for Donations” program and with each purchase of exclusive fireworks ringtones or wallpapers, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the USO. In addition, all official 2007 Cincinnati Bell/WEBN Fireworks T-shirts purchased at a Cincinnati Bell retail store will generate a $1.00-per-shirt contribution to the USO.

“The USO organization has remained steadfast in their mission to support our military personnel and their families, through hospital and other much-needed services. Now our community has a chance to help the USO support those who tirelessly serve our country,” Cassidy explained.

Supporting the USO and its programs is not new for Cincinnati Bell. For the past four years, Cincinnati Bell has been one of the leading sponsors of the USO Riverfest Gala-the country’s largest annual fundraiser supporting the USO Metro-D.C. hospital services at Walter Reed Medical Center and Bethesda Naval Hospital. The USO Riverfest Gala, held at the Montgomery Inn Boathouse, is a patriotic evening that pays tribute to all military personnel and individual honorees who have been recently injured in the line of duty.

The Cincinnati Bell/WEBN Fireworks will be held on Sunday, September 2, 2007, with fireworks viewing areas and activities for all ages on both sides of the Ohio River. Additional information about the USO or how to support Cincinnati Bell’s efforts is available at any Cincinnati Bell retail store.
