Rain forecast cancels music, fireworks

Forecast for more rain Friday evening squelched the River City Music Festival, Mayor Jay Knudtson said.

The sound technicians in charge of setting up the event said there was a 100 percent chance of rain in the forecast, so festival organizer Mary Ramsey decided to call off the outdoor festivities, Knudtson said.

The fireworks display by National Asset Recovery Services has also been canceled due to the weather.
