A community fireworks display will continue in a new location this year.
The Elks will stage their annual fireworks show on Tuesday, July 4, behind the Gas Community Building at 624 W. Pine St. The show begins at dusk.
For decades, the Elks offered the fireworks show at the lake they leased from Iola Industries. Now that the lake is being transferred to the state to create a new state park, the lake site isn’t available.
Those who plan to attend the show in Gas can park or sit anywhere south of Pine Street.
Humboldt also is continuing its annual show. The Humboldt Lions Club will have the Mike Rickner Memorial Fireworks Display on Monday, July 3, at the Humboldt Golf Course. The show begins at dusk. Bring lawn chairs and blankets.
A model RC airplane show kicks things off at 6:30 Monday evening, followed by an ice cream social at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church at 7.
COMMUNITIES in the county each have their own regulations for shooting fireworks. Check with your local City Hall to find out about specific limits.
