Every year my family goes to the Northeast Santa Ana Little League Fireworks stand and we end up spending over $100 on safe and sane fireworks, on the 4th of July. My kids are pretty grown up now but we keep doing this because they like the fireworks and we like helping NESALL.

I personally don’t care for the illegal fireworks that dominate our skyline every 4th of July. They are not safe. They scare pets and they also frighten some of our military veterans, who are struggling with PTSD.
