Fireworks can be sold in Ellis County this year, but a decision on usage will not be made until next month. County Administrator Greg Sund says the county has to look at the amount of precipitation the area has received a little closer to the 4th of July.
The county commission Monday night approved sales from June 27th to July 5th for state approved fireworks. They will make a decision on the discharging of fireworks on June 18th.
The City of Hays will allow residents to shoot fireworks July 3, 4 and 5.
