March 2 is the celebration of Texas' independence from Mexico in 1836 and this year in Smith County, you can light up the sky to celebrate. Provided there is no burn ban at the same time.
Is your dog spending the next few days shaking in the corner, or hiding under the bed? Mine, too. The fireworks are a blast for everyone except the pups.
Fireworks are as much a part of July Fourth as barbecues, parades and red, white and blue, but have you ever stopped to think what makes them flare up in the first place?
