Fireworks

It's going to be a quiet 4th of July.

Ask your folks about the Bueller reference. Now remember Mandan, no bottlerockets on the 4th of July. But bring everything else.

Mandan, are two days enough to blow up all your stuff?

My first year at Mandan's 4th of July celebration had me signing up to participate in the Mandan Rodeo's "Circle Of Death" bull dodging competition. I could have won fifty bucks! Mandan, the "Fourth" is strong in this one.

The Live Music starts at 8pm and the Fireworks begin at dark.

OK, come over here ya big lugs! I know, I pick on SD sometimes...but, y'know? South Dakota right?

I'm not sure you can call hushed whispers a "fight". But might Bismarck be getting ready to light up the 4th of July?

So The Fourth of July is upon us and when you are buying fireworks for the family barbecue it's good to know what you're getting into.

Fireworks can be legally sold in North Dakota from June 27 through July 5 and from Dec. 26 through New Years Day. But it is illegal to use them in Bismarck.

Spooked horses and extensive clean up costs have prompted the Mandan Rodeo Committee to request a ban of all private fireworks at Dacotah Centennial Park.
