The American Legion’s fireworks show originally slated for Independence Day festivities were postponed until Labor Day because of rain showers. Fireworks are set to go off at dusk Monday at Laurel Park in Gainesville.
After rainy weather washed out the local American Legion’s annual Independence Day celebration and firework display earlier this summer, the Paul E. Bolding Post 7 is rebooting the event for Labor Day weekend at Laurel Park, 2100 Old Cleveland Road. Post Commander Dave Dellinger explained the activities and fireworks originally slated for July 4 will be Monday, Sept. 2. While the event is free, parking is $5.
