Fireworks continue to be hot topic at Koons Park

Problems prompt decision to cancel Labor Day fireworks in LP

I saw Lower Paxton police and Linglestown firefighters searching the park for unexploded fireworks earlier this week. There were two firetrucks parked along Balthaser Street, which borders the park's eastern border, and about a dozen men were combing a large area in the center of the park.

A similar search was conducted last month.

According to a report from Stray Winds Area Neighbors (that's SWAN for those of you who have been following along for awhile), the Lower Paxton supervisors decided earlier this week to cancel the Paxtonia Fire Company's Labor Day fireworks as a result of the unresolved issues at Koons Park. Future fireworks displays in the township will be up for discussion in the future, the report said.

Call 911 if you find a firework shell or hear fireworks being set off at the park.
