Fireworks display back on
Council okays fireworks for 2007, picks new site

After two sites were denied to city of Williams organizers, it seemed as if the fireworks show would be cancelled in Williams for the second year in a row. That changed June 28 after council picked a second alternative to their first choice, located at Gonzalez Lake near the Interstate 40 corridor. Their first alternative, near Clover Hill, was also denied due to fire danger concerns in the area, leaving many with the impression that the display would have to be cancelled. The new site, on city-owned property, is located at the wastewater facility north of downtown near Airport Road - a site city officials said would work well for the display - with limited fire danger.
