DougCo Republican Party makes play to bring 4th of July fireworks to Highlands Ranch after prior cancellation

The Douglas County Republican Party is organizing a 4th of July fireworks event in Highlands Ranch after the original show was canceled in May due to drought and fire danger. Efforts include securing contracts and a $78,000 county-funded plan, with a decision expected by June 30. Community reactions are mixed, with some supporting the event and others opposing it due to fire risks.
