Northstar Fireworks of East Montpelier, VT Takes
2nd Place at the La Fete De Lac Des Nations
International Fireworks Competition in
Sherbrooke, QC, Representing the United States
Northstar Fireworks of East Montpelier,
VT represented the United States this past
week at the Sherbrooke, QC International
Fireworks Competition La Fete Du Lac Des
Nations, taking 2nd place overall. Several
pyrotechnic companies competed from July
16-21st, with Northstar Fireworks lighting
up the sky on Thursday, July 18, 2019 with a
pyrotechnic spectacle that ignited the night
with an unparalleled barrage of color, light,
and sound.
The theme for the show was “The Fire
Within”, a Celebration of the inner force that
burns in each of us. With this show, Northstar
Fireworks encouraged spectators to see their
emotions come to life and rise in the sky just
like the bright pyrotechnic sparks that
engulfed the sky. This fireworks display
brought out the precious flame that powers
the lives in us, to guide everyone to the stars.
“The Fire Within” was a powerful and above
all, an inspiring show meant to touch the
audience’s soul and mind.
Tom Swenson and Evan Wells of Northstar
Fireworks were the Choreographers of the
show and were pleased to bring home a 2nd
place finish in their first International
Fireworks Competition. Additional Crew
members were Jon Winter, Jon Deerfield,
Chris Swenson, and Randy Hunt.
Northstar Fireworks is very pleased to
have represented the U.S. at this international
competition and be presented with a
2nd place finish. It was certainly a moment in
time for Northstar, and Northstar looks forward
to a bright future in upcoming shows.
Northstar Fireworks is a family-owned company
started in 1985, with offices in East
Montpelier and St. Johnsbury, VT.
“We are very excited and honored by the
outcome of this competition,” Richard
Swenson from Northstar Fireworks said.

from around New England.” Learn more

Connect Schools And Local Farms Under
Leahy-Authored Farm To School Program
A program long championed by Senator
Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) will invest $98,918 in
bolstering efforts to bring local agriculture
into the classrooms and cafeterias of Vermont
schools. The U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) has announced Farm to School
grants to connect child nutrition programs
with local farmers.
Leahy said: “Tying local agriculture to
our schools not only provides our children
with healthy meals and improved nutrition,
it encourages a long standing connection to
the farms that define our Green Mountain
State. Every student deserves equal access
to healthy meals, and I’m proud that our
school nutrition leaders will use these funds
to help all children gain a better understanding
about where their food comes from. This
announcement is another example of how
Vermont continues to lead the nation in
implementing this effective strategy.”
The Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food
and Markets received a $98,918 grant to
• • •
strengthen farm to school programing in 20
schools in Franklin and Grand Isle counties.
Project partners, including Hunger Free
Vermont, VT FEED, and the Healthy Roots
Collaborative, will work with schools to integrate
farm to school activities into curriculums.
Together, these activities will
strengthen the local agricultural economy in
northwestern Vermont and increase the
health and wellness of students. This grant
builds on the Agency’s 2015 Farm to School
training grant focused on encouraging
Vermont supply chain partners to engage in
agriculture learning in schools.
“This important support is great news for
the people living and working in Franklin
and Grand Isle Counties,” said Vermont
Secretary of Agriculture, Food, and Markets
Anson Tebbetts. “This important project
will help schools, students and Vermont’s
farmers. We look forward to working with
all the partners on this project.”
