It appears that everyone that’s been doing the rain dance in hopes of restoring the Heritage Festival fireworks has had some success, prompting Fire Chief Williams to send around a notice this morning (Thursday, July 5) that if the weather forecast for additional rain holds true, he’s likely to authorize the fireworks for Saturday night (July 7th).
The Chief is still worried about preventing a flash fire in the fields adjacent to the fireworks launch area but his comfort level definitely rose as the rain fell over the last 12 hours.
The Chief has advised the sponsors of the Heritage Fest that he is re-considering the fireworks permit and he promises to have his final decision by Friday morning so that the Chamber can get the word out regarding the status of the fireworks.
Keep dancing for the sake of fireworks — and lawns all over town.
