BEDFORD COUNTY, Va. (WTVR) — The home of the National D-Day Memorial may not have a fireworks celebration this year.
Bedford leaders have decided they cannot afford to pay for the annual Fourth of July celebrations because of budget cuts.
As a result, the event was canceled, upsetting many people in the small community.
A private group, the Bedford Moose Lodge, has offered to pick up the $14,000 tab, but the event still may not happen.
That’s because the organization still has to find a fireworks vendor on short notice.
