Fourth of July

Just last year I made the joke that it wouldn't be too much longer before people started staking out their spots with tarps and blankets for the Greeley Stampede’s July 4th Parade a month early. At least in some spots, spots won't be staked out early at all this year.

It doesn't seem to matter if you've lived in Northern Colorado 20 years, 20 days or 20 hours, firework violations within the city limits seem to go along with the Fourth of July.
