Annual Century/Flomaton Fireworks Show Canceled
June 22, 2021
The annual Century/Flomaton joint fireworks show has been canceled for this year.
Century Mayor Ben Boutwell said Monday night that the fireworks company was unavailable due to a scheduling conflict.
The show alternates between Century and Flomaton each year and is jointly funded. This year, it was set to be in Flomaton. In 2020, the Century/Flomaton fireworks show was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

If the truth be known. Someone dragged their feet about booking it and waited too long. There are steps that have to be made in order to schedule a show. The person in charge was called and asked and was told about the deadline.
@Willis; long ago.
To bad !!
REGARDING:
“Fireworks. Taxpayers money up in smoke.”
Smoke, light, noise.
Things we love.
I guess I’ll just have to keep my fingers another year.
Fireworks. Taxpayers money up in smoke.
Anyone read that there was a firework shortage. Yep. It’s real. Google it.
Hey Century guy. Read more slowly next time.
Two words jump out. “Jointly funded.”
If everyone would read the story you would see the fireworks was to be in Flomaton this year so there for its not really Century’s fault
Thought with a new mayor things would be different. Guess not.
Heres what probably happened, they forgot to book it and when the company said “we are already booked, you waited too long.” Then Century said oh it’s a scheduling conflict on the fireworks companies part. So they seem to displace the blame on the fireworks company. Utter laughable. Kids in high school can plan better….
Century cant afford to fix crumbling bridges, pretty sure they cant afford fireworks and the scheduling conflict is just a cover.
Make since!!!!!! I mean Santa did send out a memo about schedule conflict as well. Lol
@oversight The Town of Flomaton is a joke as well. Just look at the mayor for example!!!!!
$$$! Enough said.
Scheduling conflict? July 4th is a well-know date…who would confuse THAT? More like Century has no money to contribute and the leaders are too lazy to put in the time/effort to see it thru. The ineptness of Century’s so-called leaders just get worse ans worse…
I wonder if maybe scheduling them to be paid was part of the conflict?
Canceling the Fourth of July fireworks celebration over a scheduling conflict? Isn’t that laughable, since the July 4th has been on the schedule since 1776. This does appear to be more likely a complete failure to plan in advance due to inept management. But we have to keep in mind that it is what it is; Century and its dysfunctional town council.
