Rumors of financial improprieties regarding the fundraising came about with apparently no substantiation which caused Pete Jakstas, owner of the Mineola Marina and Lounge at the Mineola Hotel to halt his involvement in 2008. That year, the fireworks were launched from a vacant lot at Sayer and Rollins roads. In 2009, the Chain of Lakes Fireworks organization was formed and set about returning the fireworks to the water..
Currently, the fireworks are shot off toward the east end of Fox Lake.
We were able to watch the Fox Lake fireworks from our back deck for many years until the trees in out subdivision got too big. We can still watch the Spring grove fireworks from out front porch, however, as we are on a really high bluff.
