A festive spirit filled the air at the Warrenton Board of Alderman meeting on November 5, 2024, as the council approved a fireworks permit for the Big Red Boosters Club. The permit allows for a celebratory firework display following the local high school football team's game on November 8, contingent on a victory.

The proposal, presented by a representative of the boosters, detailed plans for a brief 15-second firework show to be launched from a private residence adjacent to Warrior Ridge, ensuring visibility for fans at the stadium. The excitement was palpable as the council members expressed confidence in the team's performance, with one member humorously stating, "They are not going to lose."

The motion to approve the permit was met with unanimous support from the board, reflecting the community's enthusiasm for local sports and celebrations. Alderman Quarters and Alderman Line led the motion, and all present voted in favor, signaling strong backing for community events that foster local pride.

In addition to the fireworks discussion, the meeting included routine agenda items, such as the approval of previous meeting minutes and a brief public comment period that yielded no speakers. The council members also took a moment to encourage civic engagement, reminding attendees to vote and supporting the local football team in their upcoming district game.

As the meeting wrapped up, the anticipation for the fireworks display added a spark of excitement to the community, highlighting the importance of local traditions and support for youth sports.
