In the words of Pete Townsend, "We won't get fooled again..." After last year's washout and with a promise of more pleasant weather on Sunday, the Westfield Gas + Electric/Whip City Fiber Fireworks for Freedom are officially postponed and the event will occur on SUNDAY, JUNE 29th! This decision is based on predicted thunderstorms for tomorrow evening and in the interest of public safety. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
