Carrabelle will wrap up a week’s worth of fireworks along the Forgotten Coast Saturday night, with a display of pyrotechnics set to go off at dark-thirty on July 6.
The show had been originally scheduled for Friday, July 5 but had to be postponed after a glitch developed with the display.
City officials said the fireworks company learned earlier in the evening on Friday that there was a problem with the equipment that was to be used to ignite the fireworks.

The fireworks will be set off at dark-thirty Saturday night, and can be viewed from all along the waterfront.

Only the rich kids had 3-speeds, and rich we were not – barely lower middle class. We lived in Norfolk, Virginia, on Harold Street, in an 800-square-foot house with a tiny kitchen and living room, a single bath, and two small adjacent bedrooms, whose thin walls made it impossible not to hear my parents’ arguments…
