Harpers Ferry Boosters, Inc. offers financial support to activities and organizations in Harpers Ferry and the surrounding area. We played a major role in raising funds to finance a splash pad which opened June 1, 2019. This July will be our 11th year of hosting the Firecracker 5K on the July 4th weekend which is held in Harpers Ferry and draws participants and spectators from all over the state as well as from the surrounding states. The funds raised from this event are used for contributions to activities such as the Children's Easter Egg Hunt, Halloween Party, decorating Tillinghast Park at Christmas, Allamakee Scholarship Foundation, County Relief, Shriners and the Farmers Market. In the summer months, the Boosters sponsor Music in the Park at Tillinghast Park giving everyone an opportunity to listen to local musicians and enjoy the relaxing setting that offers a beautiful view of the Mississippi River. The Boosters led the project to purchase and install an electronic message board to display local events and notices. We refurbished the Welcome boat sign for Harpers Ferry which also shows the businesses in our community. Boosters join with Peoples Bank in annual clean up of Tillinghast and Veterans Parks.
