Pie-in-the-face-eligible members of the Explosive 8 are: 1. J. P. Hulgan, 2. Jack Butler, 3, Eddie Diaz, 4, Eric Vaughn, 5. Misty Von Behren, 6. Mark Powell, 7. Cheri Scheib and 8. Emily Leslie.

The Perry Chamber of Commerce Fourth of July fireworks fundraiser — the Big Boom Bracket Battle — has relaunched online using the same platform as the Chamber’s Perry Pride Business Booster gift card program.

“Not quite the ‘Madness’ we had planned back in March,” said Perry Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lynsi Pasutti, “but should be just as fun to see one of these faces get a pie in June for the sake of the Fourth of July fireworks drive.”

Pie-in-the-face-eligible members of the Explosive 8 are: J. P. Hulgan, Jack Butler, Eddie Diaz, Eric Vaughn, Misty Von Behren, Mark Powell, Cheri Scheib and Emily Leslie. The Explosive 8 were selected in March from among 24 entrants, with winners determined by the number of Facebook likes received.

The Explosive 8 will go head-to-head in three rounds of bracket match ups, and the Firecracker 4 will be announced Friday, June 19, and the Big Boom Showdown between the final duo will be announced Friday, June 26.

Pasutti said advancement in the Big Boom Bracket Battle will be based on donations raised from the community. Instead of collection jars at various locations, donations in any amount will be accepted online. Just choose your favorite pie face. Donations may also be directed to the Perry Chamber of Commerce, P.O. Box 472, and be sure to name your nominee in the Big Boom Battle.

“Who will it be?” Pasutti said. “You decide who moves on to the Firecracker 4 with your donations.”
