WOODSTOCK, IL (June 28, 2006 ) Families from throughout Northern Illinois are invited to celebrate Independence day as the skies over Woodstock will light up on the night of July 4 with the city's annual spectacular OWC.net Fourth of July Fireworks Celebration. Low-cost, premier Internet Service Provider (ISP) OWC.net, headquartered in Woodstock, IL, is the sponsor for the fireworks extravaganza.
The city of Woodstock established a tradition 12 years ago to always hold the fireworks event on the Fourth of July for a true celebration of Independence Day. The patriotic, family-friendly event draws thousands to Woodstock's Emricson Park, as families, friends and neighbors gather together to eagerly await the coming of dusk and the start of the fireworks show.
"Because OWC.net is the most family-friendly Internet provider with optimized SPAM filters, and is the top economical Internet choice for Woodstock and McHenry County, it is natural that OWC.net should celebrate the community with fireworks on this patriotic holiday," said OWC.net CEO Larry O'Connor.
OWC.net is proud to be the first business in the event's 12-year history to serve as a primary corporate sponsor. "The OWC.net Woodstock Fourth of July Fireworks Celebration is a fabulous family event for everyone in Woodstock and the surrounding townships. It showcases OWC.net's commitment to our home community the same way OWC.net offers discounted pricing for local family and business customers," said Jon Hiller, OWC.net Director of Network Operations and Internet Services.
