(KNSI) — A community celebration of life for Tom Richardson is coming up on Thursday.
Richardson died suddenly last month at the age of 65.
The event is on April 13th from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Iron Street Distillery. The distillery is at 539 East St. Germain Street in St. Cloud.
Family members will be there for people to pay their respects.
Richardson was the Fireworks Commissioner for the annual 4th of July celebration at Hester and Wilson Parks. The event was still possible even during COVID-19 shutdowns, thanks to the creativity of Richardson and those on the planning board.
Jason Bernick, who is also on the board, says the show will go on this year.
The St. Cloud Fireworks Committee is a non-profit organization that works with contributors, vendors, and city and public safety officials throughout the year, organizing venues, activities, and all aspects of the pyrotechnic display. St. Cloud’s celebration is the longest consecutive running and largest city-wide event attended.
This year will be St. Cloud’s 77th consecutive fireworks display.
