City opts to axe fireworks
Officials say extreme fire danger will

Officials with the city of Williams said this year's highly anticipated fireworks show will not happen, though the final decision will rest in the hands of city council, who will decide the matter of the Fourth of July tomorrow night during their regularly scheduled meeting beginning at 7 p.m. Should council opt to cancel the fireworks display, according to officials, an alternative date for the display may be considered. Fire danger cancelled last year's display at the last minute as well and hope was high that it would not be the case this year. Williams City Manager Dennis Wells said city staff will recommend the cancellation to council tomorrow based on a number of considerations.
