Do you think there'd be any complaints from locals if the one-time July 4th Wolfeboro fireworks were scheduled for midnight? Of course there would!

Well said!
I love fireworks as well as anyone else, and particularly love the displays that my neighbors spring for!
That said, a nice display as close to dark as possible lends consideration to everyone, especially those that must rise early the next day to work or return home.
Whenever I hear or see fireworks at around the midnight hour, regardless of the day of week, alcohol immediately comes to mind!
In any neighborhood at that late hour, it is incondsiderate, in my humble opinion....
