OURAY – The Ouray County Sheriff’s Office, in conjunction with the Ouray Volunteer Fire Department, announced on Monday morning that they have canceled Ouray’s 4th of July flare parade and municipal fireworks display.  

“This was not a easy decision for any of us, but I think it is the right decision, considering what the rest of the state is going through,” Ouray County Sheriff Junior Mattivi said.
