With Independence Day less than a week away, Western New Yorkers are making their plans for the spectacular fireworks displays and parades across the region.
Most communities have chosen to celebrate on July 4 proper, but others are hoping that making their offerings available on earlier dates might lead to higher attendance, starting with the Seneca Allegany Casino in Salamanca on Friday night.
