The annual Humboldt July 4th fireworks display will go off as planned Saturday, July 4, with only a few alterations.
One major charge is spectators will not be allowed to sit in the grandstand. People will be allowed to drive their vehicles into the fairgrounds and can watch the fireworks from inside or outside their vehicles. Attendees are asked to maintain a six-foot social distance between others watching the display.
Humboldt Fire Department officer and head of the annual pyrotechnic display, Russ Seiler, said the display will be pretty much the same show as other years. Seiler and about 15 volunteers safely light the fireworks from the fairgrounds infield. The show will begin promptly at 10 p.m. and runs for approximately 30 minutes.
“This is our $11,000 show. We cut back some on the ground displays, but look forward to a good array of fireworks,” Seiler said.
The rain date will be Sunday, July 5 at 10 p.m.
