I think it is ridiculous that Apache Junction has such long hours for fireworks.
11:00 pm to 1:00 am on fourth of July. Also they are allowed from June 24th thru July 5th. There are a lot of seniors that are asleep by then. Another problem is that dogs don’t like the sound, and we have to stay up to comfort them. Who needs to put off fireworks that time of night. I think the time should end at 10:00 p.m.
