Cunningham Fireworks Show
July 3rd, 2026

The Carlisle County Sheriff's Office is pleased to welcome residents and visitors to the annual Cunningham Fireworks Celebration on Friday, July 3, 2026. Festivities will begin at 3:00 p.m., offering an afternoon and evening of family-friendly entertainment, food, community activities, and a fireworks display.

As our community prepares to host guests from across the region, the Sheriff's Office asks everyone attending to help make the event safe and enjoyable by respecting local businesses, residents, and fellow attendees.

During normal business hours, attendees are asked to park only in designated parking areas and avoid using parking spaces reserved for local businesses or their customers. These businesses continue to serve the community throughout the event, and your cooperation helps ensure they remain accessible to their patrons.

Motorists traveling through Cunningham are urged to exercise extreme caution, as heavy pedestrian traffic is expected to cross U.S. Highway 62 throughout the event. Please reduce your speed, remain alert, and watch for pedestrians crossing the roadway, particularly during the evening hours as the fireworks display approaches and concludes.

Visitors are also encouraged to follow all posted traffic signs and comply with directions from law enforcement officers, emergency personnel, and event staff. These measures are in place to promote public safety, reduce traffic congestion, and help everyone enjoy the celebration.

The Carlisle County Sheriff's Office appreciates the cooperation of everyone attending and thanks the community, volunteers, and local businesses for their continued support of this annual tradition.

On May 12th, 2026, the Carlisle County Sheriff's Office was dispatched to the Post Office in Bardwell for a female that walked in and requested the employees contact law enforcement to report that she had been sexually assaulted. Law enforcement arrived at the Post Office and met with Courtney Link. Link was transported to the Sheriff's Office where she was interviewed by Chief Deputy Ben Green. During the interview Link described a sexual assault that occurred the previous day at her residence in Bardwell. Link also agreed to allow Chief Deputy Green to inspect her phone. While inspecting the contents of the phone, Chief Deputy Green located deleted text messages that contradicted Links statement to law enforcement. Link was read her Miranda rights and later confessed that she fabricated the story about being sexually assaulted out of anger, due to an impending eviction from her residence. Link was placed under arrest for Falsley Reporting an Incident to Law Enforcement (Misdemeanor) and Tampering with Physical Evidence. (Class D Felony) Link was transported to the Ballard County Jail.
