The original July 3 celebration was canceled because of dangerous conditions for fireworks displays. A new date has been selected for the fall.
People across St. Louis will get a chance to see JB Blast fireworks this fall. The event has been rescheduled for Friday, Oct. 5, as noted in a Facebook event created by St. Louis County Executive Charlie Dooley.

The fire district's decision came in after Patch ran a story saying the fireworks were still on. Does this change your Fourth of July plans? Let …
