Leadville Lions Club Fireworks Mistakenly Sent to the Wrong Town

There won’t be a Fourth of July fireworks show in Leadville this year. The fireworks, meant for the Leadville Lions Club celebration, were accidentally delivered to Telluride, another Colorado mountain town.

In a Facebook post, Leadville/Lake County Fire Rescue explained, “We have no way to pick them up and bring them to Leadville in time.”

Across Colorado, hundreds of thousands will gather on July 4 to celebrate Independence Day with festivals, live music, and spectacular fireworks.

Keep in mind that personal fireworks that leave the ground are banned in many areas, and it’s best to leave pets at home during the festivities.
