Locals seeking out pop-its, sparklers and snakes for their Fourth of July festivities marked their calendars for Wednesday the day fireworks stands in Costa Mesa were officially open for business.
Newport Beach residents Colleen and Buck Johns were among a small group of customers who turned out for the 10 a.m. opening of a stand on 17th Street, operated by supporters of the Costa Mesa High School cheerleading teams, who will receive a portion of the proceeds for their labor.
