Smithville Aldermen OK Firework Ordinance

It’s now legal to sell fireworks in Smithville at certain times of the year.

Smithville aldermen unanimously approved the measure rolling back a 1982 ban on fireworks sales.

Under the new ordinance, vendors can apply for a 12-month permit to sell fireworks for a $500 fee.

Sales are only permitted from June 20 – July 9 and December 21 – January 5.
