The Easton carnival unexpectedly closed Thursday due to stolen amusement ride wires, though organizers said it would be back on Friday for the event’s Fourth of July finale. The Star Democrat reports six major cables valued at a total of $30,000 were stolen before the carnival opened Thursday. The owner called Easton police and filed a report. The carnival is expected to return Friday, opening at 6 p.m. Opening ceremonies are scheduled for 7 p.m. and fireworks are slated to go off after dusk, weather permitting.
