Sit back, relax and guess how one California man spent the day 19 years ago this week. It's easy and free to post community events in our on-line calendar. It's all part of the Fourth of July. Just remember, in Ohio those private displays are a no-no.
State laws covering fireworks vary greatly.
Ohio is somewhere in the middle, not as lenient some states, but not as restrictive as others. But our state's law has one funny twist. Out of state residents have 72 hours to get them out of town. There's no question that fireworks pose a serious hazard to life and limb. That's why there are laws restricting their use.
