The fireworks show will be held Monday in an open field at the Douglas County Fairground , which is about half a mile from the local animal shelter run by the Lawrence Humane Society.
Cory Stottlemyer, BARC’s deputy shelter director, said their facility received around six calls on Saturday afternoon from local owners who wanted to confirm that staff members had relocated their pet after they got a phone call from a man who said he was with BARC and claimed to have their animals.
