fireworks

There is a limited amount of time that fireworks are allowed to be shot off and bought in Idaho. Obviously, for the 4th of July, but also for New Years. You may have noticed some fireworks stands popping up around town.

We appreciate the generosity of the community in previous years and hope to see the spirit of giving shine again this year and in years to come.

For those that have ever wondered what behind the scenes of our area fireworks shows look like, I recently obtained video of the Wendell Fire Department putting on one heck of a fireworks display at the city's high school.

Right now, safe and sane fireworks are legal to shoot off until midnight July 5th. However, there are fireworks that are illegal no matter what and if you shoot them off and get caught, you will get a fine.

Let's just celebrate the fact we are alive, and we'll only have 180 days of this godforsaken year left.

As we celebrate America with fireworks the full moon will be rising over Idaho and it will be in the process of an eclipse.

The shell was 62 inches, weighed in at 2,797 pounds, and launched 2,200 feet into the air before exploding.

The one year my dog got free from a barricade I set up during a backyard fireworks celebration on the forth, she nearly took a family friend's leg off.

The agency responsible for Idaho public lands is reminding the public to leave the fireworks at home this 4th of July holiday.

Based on 13 factors including military engagement, civic participation, and active voters, Idaho was only beat by 4 other states: Utah, Vermont, Wyoming, and New Hampshire.

With the Fourth of July holiday coming up, we've created a list of all the events happening in southern Idaho to celebrate our freedom.

Displays later in the year could be severely impacted.
