Lincoln Mayor Chris Beutler decided to push Lincoln's fireworks display set for Friday, July 3rd, to Sunday, July 5th due to rain storms in the Capital City area.

Scheduling for Sunday's fireworks display is as follows at Lincoln's Oak Lake Park:

9:15 p.m. - Lincoln Symphony Orchestra begins free patriotic concert.

10:00 p.m. - 22-minute fireworks display choreographed to LSO music begins.

According to an aide with Mayor Beutler's office, audience safety was a concern.

For now, no other activities are scheduled besides the fireworks display.

Yes, Lucy, can YOU find anything else to complain about? Quit blaming the "ritzy" elitists of South Lincoln for your misplaced anger.
