July 4th fireworks in October? Yes, if you live in Ellis.
The community is one of many western Kansas towns that postponed or even canceled Independence Day fireworks shows because of dry conditions and extreme heat this past summer.
So, Ellis City Council members recently approved an ordinance allowing the use of fireworks in the city limits Saturday, October 20th from 10a.m. to 10p.m.
The Travis Kohlrus family lit up the night sky with what they had intended to use July 4th.
One of the family’s dogs, Patch, is an English Pointer who loves to hunt, and apparently also loves fireworks.
