No one may use, sell, offer to sell, give away, or possess any firework within the Village unless in possession of a valid user’s permit.

Permit Applications
Permit applications are available at the Village Clerk’s office in the Village Hall.

After proper application to the Village Board, (not less than 45 days prior to the event), and the board approval, user’s permits may be issued for festivals and public or private celebrations.

Allowed
"Toy snakes", "sparklers", and "caps" are permitted in the Village.

However, no unauthorized person may use any fireworks, cap, toy snake, or sparkler at a fireworks display for which a permit has been issued.

A good rule to follow is if the device makes a pop or flash, it is unlawful in the Village without a permit.

For more information, refer to State statute 167.10 and municipal codes 62-66 through 62-72.
