News 4 viewers sent us photos from ‘Pyromania’ in Wright City. It’s an annual fireworks show at Cedar Lake Cellars winery. One viewer said she was disappointed people weren’t taking necessary precautions.

Thousands were in attendance and the owner did not require masks, citing the hundreds of acres that allow for social distancing.
