About this Article

After discussion at three meetings, the Hoffman Estates village board decided to let Melrose Pyrotechnics shoot off the fireworks again at this year's Northwest Fourth Fest despite criticism of the quality of last year's show. Trustee Ray Kincaid, the only "no" vote, said he felt that the board wasn't comparing "apples to apples."
