Fireworks buffs will have 12 buildings and 38 tents from which to make purchases beginning later this month in Shawnee County, including the city of Topeka.

The total number of licenses to peddle pyrotechnics issued by the governments of Topeka and Shawnee County fell to 50 this year, from 51 last year.

Listings of those licensees and locations were provided this past week to The Topeka Capital-Journal by Shawnee County planning director Joni Thadani and Topeka city clerk Brenda Younger.
