FIREWORKS TESTING

It’s not the Fourth of July, but there will be some fire­works tonight any­way in Bryan.

The Bryan Times is report­ing that Bryan Mayor Doug John­son told the Bryan Board of Pub­lic Affairs on Tues­day that the city of Bryan will be test­ing small-shell fire­works in Bryan’s Recre­ation Park at about 8 o’clock tonight to fig­ure out the cor­rect fall­out dis­tance for the 2014 Day in the Park fire­works dis­play.

John­son says it’s being done to gauge vis­i­bil­ity of the fire­works and to make sure descend­ing debris does not reach nearby homes and other struc­tures. He says about 20 fire­works will be dis­charged this evening, so grab a chair and come on out to see it.
