SHAMOKIN - Friday's threat of thunderstorms caused organizers of the Anthracite Heritage Festival of the Arts to move last night's planned fireworks to tonight.
The new time is 9:30 p.m. They will be shot off the Glenn Burn culm bank.
The luminary service scheduled for Friday was also canceled. A list of luminaries will be published next week in The News-Item.
Thursday night, thunderstorms produced heavy rain, wind and large hail - enough to shovel - in the greater Shamokin area, and the forecast was similar for Friday, prompting the schedule changes.
