Fireworks Cancelled – 4th of July Activities

Due to the longevity of the dry conditions within the Liberal and surrounding areas, the Liberal and Seward County Fire Department officials have made the decision to cancel the 4th of July Fireworks Display that was to follow the Liberal Bee Jay game on Monday night. With the extended heat forecasts of temperatures to be above the 100 degree mark, the back-up dates of July 16 and 19 have also been cancelled.

The Liberal Bee Jays and Seward County Community College/Area Technical School welcomes everyone to come out to Brent Gould Field and enjoy all of the activities that will still be happening prior to and during the 7:00 PM Jayhawk League game against the Dodge City A’s. So gather up your family and come enjoy the following 4th of July activities on Monday:

· First Southern Baptist Church will be hosting a picnic at Brent Gould Field on the campus of SCCC/ATS from 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM. They will have hot dogs, snow cones, water and bounce houses. (All activities and food will be free of charge)

· Whirlwind Career Counseling Center for Veterans is hosting and honoring families of deployed soldiers all weekend. They will close those weekend activities by honoring and recognizing those families of deployed soldiers at the Bee Jay game.

· The Liberal Bee Jays will host the Dodge City A’s with the first pitch at 7:00 PM. Pizza Hut and The Community Bank are the buyout sponsors (admission to the game is free) and there will be plenty of prizes given away during the game, as well as Sunflower Bank’s money dig for the kids.
