On May 19, the City of Cupertino received a letter from the Fremont Union High School District indicating that due to the extreme drought circumstances in the State of California, they are reluctantly denying usage of Cupertino High School fields on July 4th in order to present a fireworks display. This program requires spraying of over 100,000 gallons of water on the field in order to prevent damage to the facility. An alternate site was not located for the launching of this year’s fireworks.

Independence Day will continue to be celebrated throughout the day in the community!
