Fireworks sales fall after several Central Oregon cities, Deschutes County ban use
People not buying as many fireworks, so buildup to the Fourth tapers off
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) Using fireworks this Fourth of July could cost you a fine of up to $750. As you might expect, fireworks sales have been down since their use was banned recently in Bend, Redmond, La Pine and outlying areas of Deschutes County until July 9th.
Ivan Hess and his family run a fireworks tent in Bend. He says the line is usually out the door but sales are down. It s usually pretty slow up until a few days before the 4th. But it s stayed pretty consistent, up until today, which normally would be faster, Hess told NewsChannel 21 on Friday.
