Just because Montville had its Fourth of July celebration a week early, that doesn't mean people can't get out and enjoy a second helping of patriotism (and explosions).
Here's a quick rundown of near-by places that have fireworks popping off this weekend.
The annual Dover fireworks display is being held on Saturday, July 3, at Hamilton Field on Route 46. The night starts off with a concert from a band named The Kootz, followed by the fireworks. Refreshments will be on sale as part of non-profit and school fundraises. Alcohol is not allowed. Festivities start at 6 p.m. Admission is $3 a person, $1 for senior citizens.
