After a one-year hiatus due to fizzling fundraising, efforts for the 2018 fireworks show flourished when Devan Driskell, an eighth- grader at Sunridge Middle School, ponied up $1,000 of his hard-earned money. That inspired Jerry Imsland of the Pendleton Rotary Club meet- ing to get involved to help revive the Pendleton’s Fourth of July fireworks display.
