Did you receive the fireworks flier in the mail? Andover based Wholesale Fireworks spends a lot of money to print and mail an ad promoting where their fireworks are sold. Many residents in Hays received the flier that lists a location in town where they could buy fireworks. A few have told Hays Post they drove to the location hoping they might actually find a fireworks stand. The company’s web site has removed the Hays location.

The city of Hays and Ellis county banned the sale and use of fireworks this year.

Jacob Marietta of Wholesale Fireworks told Hays Post, “That flier was printed weeks ago, long before the decision to ban fireworks in Ellis County. We’ve had a couple hundred customers contact us and they are very disappointed and wondered why they wouldn’t be able to buy fireworks this year.”

Maybe next year they will sell again in Ellis County? “It should have been this year,” Marietta said.
