I like them , from a far, lol
Spent a few 4 th's underneath the bombs keeping boaters away from the boundary line, Not near as much fun as you think, with chunks and glowing debris raining down on you....lol

People here are fireworks crazed, the sound of explosions is constant and goes on for hours, and it's illegal here!

I like to watch them but not buy them. Always told my boys if you want to spend money on something that goes bang just go buy some shells and go hit the shooting range. They have always heeded my advice once they got a little older. 😀

I think Hellcats are what I'm looking for. The stands open up today or tomorrow in NE

The Hellcats are real good. There are 5 inch one this year pretty sure were 4 inch before. Growler by world class fire works are one of my favorites. Double Play are 6 inch double breaks and are great. 5 inch hellcats 99$ Growler 5inch 89$ and Double Play 6 inch 125$. Be safe and enjoy Gary.

Prices From The Fireworks Super Store in Hannibal.

Yesterday I stopped and got some 5" boomers. 24 pack for $130 with tax. Set one off last night and I think they'll do. Gonna rock the world for my favorite village board member that likes to blow the siren when my wife is trying to sleep in the daytime when she works nights.

I made a lot of money during high school running down to Missouri in a Volkswagen rabbit, filling up the car and selling them in Omaha.
Omaha did not have stand that I remember, you had to go to Ralston. And they all were safe and sane. Bottle rockets did have reports.

M-80s were the best selling. They were illegal long before 1978 thanks to the ATF.
A guy would go to prison now if he got pulled over…..

Never Did much for fireworks Other than sparklers and some smaller stuff when my son was small. I got cured of any fascination I had with the bigger fireworks when a high school classmate of mine lost his hand and eye playing around with an unexploded rocket from the city fireworks display he found at the park.
The wife loves to see them and usually goes with relatives to see them these days. They are televised on our local TV channel also. When we first owned our house back in the 70's we would watch them from our garage roof. One year I got an idea, aided by several beers to make my own noise with an 870 12 gauge in the back yard by shooting up in the air. This was in a residential neighborhood and no cops were called. Wife wasn't to happy with me when she got home from the park and the shotgun stayed in the gun cabinet on the fourth after that.
Don't think I could do that nowadays but might be worth a try if I get to bored this week.

Cheaper than artillery shells!. $5.30 per load but I like it.

The artillery shells than you are supposed to put in the tube……will put a garbage can 30 feet in the air,,,
Three of them will roll a Toyota….
, a friend told me,…..

Heck ya!! Got my nephews all the classics. I was pumped when their mom said they will have to gather old toys to blow up!!!!!
