Bonfire Location in Question for Town Event
Fire Chief Oscar A. Risho says a bonfire likely will be at the State Street Wharf with Norman Servant to decide. The north end of Wood Street and Narrows point are also under study as a quick rising pyre may be planned at 10 p.m. IfWeather and local groups push ahead, the July 3 spectacle remains in doubt.
