It's sad news for fireworks fans -- neighboring towns Orting and Puyallup will not host fireworks shows this year.
After some readers expressed doubt about the Pierce County fireworks show list, Patch called the cities of Orting and Puyallup and administrators confirmed that neither town will host a public event this year.
Puyallup's Foursquare Church is still hosting CityBlast, a 5K/10K event sponsored by the YMCA, but sans-fireworks. Visit their website for more information.
