The little borough of Coplay is know for putting on one of the biggest fireworks shows in the Lehigh Valley. This year, the event will begin shortly after sundown on Tuesday, July 3. You can see the free show at Saylor Park in Coplay or just across the Lehigh River in Northampton. A small but dedicated group of volunteers begins raising money in March for the annual display - which costs more than $10,000.

The following information comes courtesy of the Pennsylvania State Police. Here are some FAQs regarding fireworks just in time for July 4th. Q: Can I use fireworks in Pennsylvania? A: State law prohibits the use of Consumer and Display Fireworks in Pennsylvania without a permit. Items defined as “ground and hand-held sparkling devices," “novelties” and “toy caps” in American Pyrotechnics Association (APA) Standard 87-1 are not currently regulated by state law; therefore, their sale and use are permissible. These “non-fireworks” are the only types allowed to be sold from tents, stands, convenience stores, retail establishments and other various outlets not licensed by the Department of Agriculture.

The Schmoyer family is gearing up for another big July 4th fireworks display in Breinigsville
Some of us don't really take the Fourth of July as seriously as we should.
It's become a family tradition. Each year, we head to Old Navy and buy T-shirts symbolizing the Fourth of July. Each year, there's a different color and a logo of the American flag with the year listed on it. Time is ticking away on this tradition, days away actually, and we have yet to get our T-shirts for this year. That would be a shame too since I have T-shirts like this dating back more than a decade. So another Fourth of July is upon us and it doesn't really have the same old ring to it. Things just don't seem that patriotic. I'm not sure why. Yet maybe I really do know why. People take their freedom for granted. It's evident in most of our communities these days. The Fourth represents a day off from work and a great chance to go …
