4th of july

Fireworks stands pop-up everywhere like perennial flowers this time of year. They show up in the parking lots of your favorite businesses and are gone just a couple weeks later.

According to Newsweek there will be about 230 families visiting the Emergency Room due to firework related injuries. let me save you a trip to the ER!

If you happen to purchase a type of firework called "TNT Red, White, and Blue" what ever you do, DO NOT LIGHT THEM! The reason why I'm telling you all this is because they got recalled last week from the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the news is just getting to the public now...

This coming weekend, and 4th of July holiday is one of the worst days of the year for sitting in traffic. Here's when the best and worst times to hit the road in Minnesota are.

The 4th of July holiday is synonymous with fireworks and officials with the Minnesota Safety Council are hoping you consider attending a public fireworks display rather than lighting your own.

This is my first 4th of July as a dog mom and honestly I am a little worried about how Norman will handle everything, mainly the fireworks.

This year is the 70th consecutive 4th of July Fireworks celebration in St. Cloud. Board President Tom Richardson says there's a full day of festivities again this year at the two parks along the Mississippi River.

Thank you to the Sartell Police for shutting up the neighbors down the road at midnight for lighting off scud missiles. I cant wait to start my motorcycle up at 6am in the morning in front of your house!

This weekend is a long one with the 4th of July landing on a Monday! So with the national holiday sneaking up on us, we are wondering what you always bring to your 4th of July cookout! Take the poll, and tell us what dishes are a MUST HAVE for Independence Day!

Happy 4th of July! Let's celebrate by watching Jimmy Kimmel make fun of how little Americans know about the holiday in this edition of 'Lie Witness News.' Thank you ABC. Thank you Jimmy. Thank you Val's (for no reason other than I like hamburgers).

Staying out of trouble when it comes to Minnesota fireworks laws is pretty simple -- if it flies or explodes, it's illegal. Bottle rockets, firecrackers, and roman candles are out. Sparklers, snakes, spark emitting fountains, and poppers are in -- but remember, none are allowed on public property.
