Now the burning question of when patriotic revelers can expect to see the rocket’s red glare is still in flux for a couple of municipalities. Brentwood has already rescheduled their pyrotechnic show for July 14 to coincide with their last Brentwood Concert Series event of the summer at the Eddy Arnold Amphitheater in Crockett Park. The Entice Band will play smooth tunes from Louis Armstrong to the Black Eyed Peas starting at 7 p.m. followed by the fireworks. As for when the postponed Franklin fireworks will be shot off, the city is still settling on a date and should have an answer by the start of next work week. “At the moment, we are looking at a couple of events, we can wrap it around,” said Monique McCullough, Franklin’s public outreach specialist. Originally, Nolensville’s show was supposed to go on rain or shine. But as the previous flood watch turned into a flood warning Thursday morning, organizers had no choice but to cancel the event. The fireworks’ launch site was located in a floodplain and organizers worried that the trucks would have trouble getting in and out of the water-logged, muddy site, said Jana Truman, a member of the Town Events Committee. This is the first time the town has had to postpone the fireworks portion in its seven year history. Nolensville will have fireworks but it’s unlikely that it will be this summer. The committee is looking at several other events they could tag the explosions on to including Patriot’s Day, the Broken Wheel Festival, Veteran’s Day or Labor Day but haven’t settled on an exact day yet. “Unfortunately, the fireworks are on an indefinite suspension. But we anticipate they will happen before the end of the year,” Truman said. |
