The Waterloo Bucks, members of the Northwoods League, have announced their planned post-game Fireworks Extravaganza on Friday, August 3 has been cancelled due to the continued dry weather and extreme heat in the Cedar Valley. &nbsp;Waterloo Chief of Fire Services Pat Treloar informed the team of the Fire Department&rsquo;s decision on Tuesday afternoon.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><span style=\\\"Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;Times New Roman&quot;\\\">&ldquo;As disappointed as the organization is about the cancellation of Friday&rsquo;s fireworks show, we totally understand the reasons that the Fire Department issued the cessation,&rdquo; said Bucks General Manager Dan Corbin.&nbsp;&ldquo;Safety has to be our biggest concern with the dryness.&nbsp;This summer&rsquo;s drought has made it so that little effort is needed to start a fire.&nbsp;We still encourage fans to come out and cheer on the Bucks as we make a run for the North Division Second Half title versus our rivals, the Rochester Honkers.&rdquo;<\/span><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><span style=\\\"Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;Times New Roman&quot;\\\">The months of May through July have produced below normal precipitation in the Cedar Valley.&nbsp;According to <a href=\\\"http:\/\/droughtmonitor.unl.edu\/\\\">http:\/\/droughtmonitor.unl.edu<\/a>, Black Hawk County is currently in an Extreme Drought, causing the City of Waterloo to disallow fireworks within the city limits at this time.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><span style=\\\"Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;Times New Roman&quot;\\\">The Bucks&rsquo; final Fireworks Extravaganza of the season, planned for Saturday, August 11, is still scheduled to occur.&nbsp;That show will take place after the Bucks face the Mankato MoonDogs for a 6:35 pm start.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><span style=\\\"Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;Times New Roman&quot;\\\">The Bucks will start a three-game homestand versus Rochester on Thursday, August 2.&nbsp;First pitch for all three games is slated for 6:35 pm.&nbsp;Thursday&rsquo;s game is a Double Buck Night powered by Casey&rsquo;s General Store and Cool 105.7.&nbsp;$2 admission coupons are available from Casey&rsquo;s and Cool 105.7.&nbsp;There will be $2 beer, $2 hot dogs, $2 popcorn, and $1 fountain soda available all game long.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div align=\\\"center\\\" style=\\\"text-align:center\\\"><b><span style=\\\"Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\\\">-30-<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Waterloo, IA &#8211;
