Some July 4th displays still on - UPDATED

The city has cancelled its fireworks but is still having its annual Patriot Day Appreciation at the city park at 4 p.m. Hot dogs, watermelon, water slides for the kids and music will be happening, and everyone is welcome.

The city has cancelled its annual "Fire on the Mountain" display atop Saunders Heights "due to extremely dry conditions," said city officials. "We hope to reschedule the event for later this year if circumstances allow. The City of Berryville would also like to remind everyone to use extreme caution with their personal use of fireworks, and that it is illegal to discharge fireworks within the city limits. As in years past, there will be some tolerance allowed on the Fourth of July holiday; however, discharge of fireworks within the City could possibly lead to a citation issued by the Berryville Police Department."
