Lower Hay Lake Fireworks Cancelled

The Lower Hay Lake fireworks show this weekend has been cancelled, a victim of the Minnesota government shutdown

Friends of Lower Hay Lake are unable to get a state permit for the July 16th display.

President Steve Curry says, "Because some people make travel plans to see the show, we have decided we must cancel the fireworks show now. If the state shutdown ends before the 16th, the show will still be cancelled."

Curry wants to reschedule the show for a later date this summer, but will only be able to do so when the Minnesota DNR offices reopen for business.
