The fireworks was postponed until Saturday night in Wheeling while towns like Martins Ferry and Bethlehem held theirs Thursday night despite the wet conditions. Weirton and Steubenville teamed together to have theirs Friday night which was being held for the last time for a while because the Market Street Bridge where it was to be blown off from will be torn down next year.

   The rain also is playing havoc with the Beast of the East Tournament held at many ball fields here in Wheeling and surrounding areas. There were 2 games played up in Weirton on this July 4th and it was all that was played on this day.

    My fourth of July was celebrated quietly with Steak as dinner.
