Aurora's Chemical Roundup will have to be rescheduled again, after it was shut down on Saturday.
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.

Thousands Protest The NSA in DC
Thousands marched through Washington DC and to the Capitol, on Saturday.
They were protesting the NSA and it's spying methods.
Protesters said that the NSA must be shut down, as it is violating constitutional freedoms of American citizens.
Many are concerned that it is a sign that the government is headed towards tyranny.
Organizers pointed out that the issue is not one of right versus left, but right versus wrong.
US citizens are not the only ones concerned by the NSA's overreach.
The NSA has been taking a lot of heat lately, as details of it's spying on German Chancellor Angela Merkel have been unveiled.
That program and others have been part of a series of Snowden leaks, that have gained international disapproval.

Czech Elections Leave No Clear Winner
Citizens of the Czech Republic voted on Saturday, without choosing an actual winner.
Voting in the country is so split, that only one party made it over twenty percent.
With 20.45%, the Social Democrats gained the most votes, but nowhere near enough to form any obvious coalition.
ANO 2011, a relatively new centrist party, took 18.65% showing that they are definitely here to stay.
The Communists took 14.91%, not enough for a majority should they and the left leaning Social Democrats come to coalition terms.
Only gaining 7.7% the Civic Democrats showed a massive loss, that could signal the end of their party.
Hopes are that a coalition, of some sort, can be formed.
If a coalition can't be formed, a new election will be required.
