A man brought crystallized picric acid, a highly dangerous explosive, for disposal.
Officials immediately closed off the area, when they realized what they were dealing with.
The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Bomb Squad was called in, to dispose of the acid.
Picric acid is relatively safe and has many uses, when in it's liquid form, but becomes extremely dangerous when it dries out.
The Roundup was cancelled, in September, due to the floods.
It is an event which the Aurora Fire Department holds annually, to allow residents to dispose of chemicals.
