UPDATED: North Reading Fourth of July Fireworks Postponed Until Next Year
The fireworks were originally cancelled due to weather.
The Bring Back the Fourth Committee met last night and has decided to postpone the Fourth of July fireworks until next year.
The Fourth of July Fireworks were postponed due to weather. The severe thunderstorms on July 4 caused two injuries in North Reading.
"After long and thorough deliberation, the Fourth of July Committee has decided not to reschedule the fireworks this year for a number of reasons," Chairman of the Bring Back the Fourth Committee Fred Chalmers said. "Be assured that there is no one more disappointed about this than the members of the committee, who worked so hard and so long to make it happen. All our efforts and every nickel of money remaining will be redirected toward making the 2013 celebration bigger and better. To help ensure that next year will be a success, we will continue our fundraising efforts throughout the year, and welcome new members to join us to help Bring Back the 4th (again)."

My version of Patch has a Breaking News Alert and picture/story that the NR July 4th fireworks have been postponed due to rain. You don't see that? Weird.

oh, duh! I get it now. This is an update to the July 4th cancellation that they will not be rescheduled at all for this year. It's hard to tell from the way it's written.

Our thanks to the Bring Back the 4th Committee's hard work this past year. While it is, of course, disappointing that the fireworks were cancelled due to weather (if you don't know this already, the big concert at Boston's Hatch Shell was also interrupted by the same weather system and all spectators were forced to seek emergency shelter in the Storrow Drive tunnels until the system passed), we can now all look forward to a wonderful celebration next summer. Again, thank you to those who worked to hard on this event! We are already doing a "no rain" dance for July 4, 2013.
