The Humboldt Lions Club will offer its annual fireworks display on Wednesday, July 3, at the golf course.
The event kicks off at 6 p.m. with a display of RC model airplanes. The Mike Rickner Memorial Fireworks Display begins at dusk. Bring lawn chairs and blankets.
That event appears to be the only public display in the county this year. For decades, the Iola Elks club offered a fireworks show at the lake they leased from Iola Industries. Now that the area is being turned into a state park, the site isn’t available. Last year, the club moved the show to Gas but does not have one scheduled this year.
Each community has different rules for fireworks. Sales began Thursday.
