waldron-freedom-festival-rescheduled-with-parade-to-july-4-fireworks-possibly-labor-day-weekend
Impacts from overnight storms and more possible storms in the Saturday forecast have postponed today’s Waldron Freedom Festival.
Saturday’s parade has been rescheduled for Tuesday, July 4. However, the remaining festivities including food and retail vendors, concerts, car show, kid zone, games, contests and the fireworks show are, at this time, being rescheduled for Labor Day weekend. Efforts are being made to ensure that those dates are a viable option and more details are to come.
Organizer Jason Yantiss stated in a social media post about the schedule changes that added concerns include having cranes in the air with the threat of lightning is just too dangerous. Saturated ground further endangers those trying to assemble the fireworks show along with emergency services and first responders who might be called if an accident took place.
Yantiss says they regret and apologize to all for the decision to push back the festival and fireworks but feel it’s the right decision under the circumstances.
