Mesa will have fireworks - just not at MCC

Still bummed about the cancellation of the fireworks at MCC? Well, there will still be some fireworks to watch in Mesa.

Living Word Bible Church (3520 E. Brown Road.) is hosting a celebration that starts at 5pm, with Fireworks starting at 9:15. There are also other fireworks alternatives around the East Valley.

It is disappointing that no one came in to "save" the MCC fireworks, but that just goes to show how bad things really are. Let's hope that the fireworks at MCC aren't gone for good, but the skys over West Mesa will be dark this year.
