Join the Gateway Community & Technical College Foundation in closing out summer with the Western & Southern/WEBN Fireworks - one of the largest fireworks displays in the Midwest. The 9th Annual RiverBlast fundraiser will take place on the Sunday, Sept. 2, of Labor Day weekend at the Fox Sports Club at Great American Ball Park. This is the premier way to enjoy the fireworks while supporting such an important cause.
