In Lubbock County, fireworks may only be sold from June 24 through July 4 and December 20 through January 1. And, then, in especially dry years, the county commissioners may implement a ban on any fireworks sales.

So, for 25 days per year, this place is open. The rest of the time, it just squats beside the road, hoping, maybe for rain.
