COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The annual Fire in the Sky celebration in Columbia will be held Sunday at 9:15 p.m. at the American Legion Park after being held at Cosmo-Bethel Park last year during the pandemic.
Erika Coffman, manager for Columbia Recreational Services, said planning the event was more difficult this year as there were many uncertainties around what the severity of the virus would be like come July 4. To play it safe we decided to shoot fireworks off from one of our parks similar to what we did last year and bring in other activities when we knew it was safe for us to do that, said Coffman.

The young woman who was a student at Itawamba Agricultural High School in Mississippi wanted to take her girlfriend to her senior prom and also wear a tuxedo but things didn t go as smoothly for her as it would have gone for her peers.
According to reports, McMillen s school said that same-sex couples and girls wearing tuxedos were a violation of their school policy and the school board ended up banning McMillen from her prom.
