Despite lukewarm reviews of last year's show, Hoffman Estates officials moved closer Monday to awarding the fireworks contract for this year's Northwest Fourth Fest to the same company. In recognition of last year's failures, the company is promising the village a $45,000 show for $39,000 this year.

Despite one village trustee's push to re-examine four fireworks bids for this year's Northwest Fourth Fest, the village board's Finance Committee moved forward Monday with a plan to award the contract to the same firm that put on last year's often criticized show. The contract, which will go to the village board for possible approval next week, would give the 30-minute show to Melrose Pyrotechnics, Inc.
