The Norman Day fireworks show was rescheduled for tonight owing to rain Saturday.
The display will be 9:30 p.m. at Reaves Park, where Norman Day 2009 was celebrated Saturday.

Hill said the decision was made so that more people would be able to see the display tonight. Saturday evening there were still some people at Reaves Park hoping to see a show when the final word was given.
Hill said he did not know of a time when Norman's fireworks display had been postponed.
