However, it is easy to understand that it takes preparation many months earlier to plan and order the fireworks for the amazing show that our volunteer fire department does every year. With the uncertainties of COVID-19 and the abilities to be allowed to hold such a large gathering &#8211; the risk of such an investment was best avoided. I&#8217;m sure they will be back next year bigger and better than ever! A huge thanks to the firefighters for their work in the past. A very good thought &#8211; The Wawa firefighters will get to have a day with their family!<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weather Sunny early this morning then a mix of sun and cloud with 30 percent chance of showers this afternoon.
