By: KARK 4 News
Updated: July 5, 2012
With 70 of the state's 75 counties now under a burn ban, many cities will have to do without their annual fireworks displays.
We have a list of some that are still holding the events and those that are not. If you do not see your city or town listed, you'll need to call local authorities.
Many planned 4th of July celebrations will go on, just without a fireworks show.

Comments
Cleburne County is under a burn ban yet we are still having the even. However if a citizen is caught shooting foreworks they can get a ticket and fined $1000.00. The city does not want to lose the money out of this event so they are circumventing the burn bad. What makes the city any different than the citizen? A burn ban is a burn ban.
