Independence Day in Brandon will look – and sound – a little different this year, which is the result of a new city ordinance banning the discharge of projectile and audible report fireworks.
On the fourth of July we celebrate the independence of our country, the United States of America. In my family, “the Fourth” was the biggest holiday of the year.
The Brandon Golf Course is looking to attract a more youthful crowd, and the city-run facility hopes to do it with free green fees for anyone 20 years old and under.
If Monday’s city council meeting is any indication, the city and its citizens seem to agree – Brandon’s fireworks laws are too liberal, and it’s time to crack down.
