CANCELED --- Blackwater Community Fireworks --- CANCELED
After sending out the request for money yesterday morning for the Blackwater Community Fireworks, EMA sent out information that the Cooper Commission has declared a State of Emergency due to the Extreme Drought. They also strongly discourage aerial fireworks. They have not issued a burn ban but they may issue a red flag warning.
We have continued to monitor the weather conditions and have strong hopes/prayers that it will rain however we understand that we can not count on what the weatherman predicts.
With that being said, we currently feel that it is in the best interest and safety of our community to cancel the fireworks display this year. If you donated and would like your money returned, please contact Amanda Blank and we will return your donation. Any donations that are not returned will remain in the account until next year.
We apologize for this, however, safety is our number one factor. As always, thank you for supporting us each year and we look forward to next year's show!
