Due to the severe weather our area experienced last night, the Town of Gore will allow the discharge of fireworks today until 10:00 PM.

Town ordinance normally prohibits the discharge of fireworks after the Fourth of July. However, because many families were unable to enjoy their celebrations due to the weather, we are making this one-time exception.

Please celebrate responsibly, be considerate of your neighbors, and always put safety first. Thank you for your cooperation, and we hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable evening.
