🇺🇸 Friendly Reminder: Per Knox City Ordinance 6.03, all fireworks are prohibited within the Knox City city limits.

We know everyone enjoys a good "ooh" and "aah," but let's keep those at the 3rd of July Festival. Speaking from experience,I know we'd rather enjoy a beautiful Big Country sunset than have explain to the police and fire department why someone's mailbox is wearing Roman candles. 😉

Thank you for helping keep Knox City safe and have a happy, safe Independence Day!
