Tonight’s drone and fireworks show has been postponed, officials told TLS.

“We have made the very difficult decision to postpone our fireworks and drone show to a future date,” the Township told TLS. “Our overwhelming concern is the safety of our residents, our township employees, and the employees of the drone and fireworks companies.”

“The past couple of days have shown just how unpredictable the weather can be. Even with a forecast indicating we should be able to hold the show between the expected afternoon and late-evening storms, we believe it is wiser not to take the chance of a storm hitting while thousands of people are making their way home from the lake.

“Additionally, we need to dedicate our time and resources to the thousands of residents who are still without power. Our DPW crews will be clearing obstacles from streets and around power lines so that JCP&L can make repairs.”

“Our police officers, along with our paid and volunteer emergency service personnel, need to be able to focus their resources on assisting those who remain without power.”

The Township says they hope to schedule the show on a future date.

“We are all very disappointed, but we look forward to enjoying the show with you on a future date, when the temperatures should also be a bit more pleasant,” the Township said.
