getting ready for the 4th of July :)

Oh ya!
You may remember the picture I posted last year?

Well this year makes that look like nothing!
Friend of mine knows a guy who has a stand every year, so he went with him to the Blackcat wholesales thing. So got everything at cost plus 15% off

This is what he got (so far) I know we'll get more closer to July (lol)

Can't believe it's not even May yet, going to be hard not to light them all up now.

Oh man...someone's gonna have a fun 4th!

Here in NY, fireworks are illegal, but we smuggle some in from down south whenever we go to visit the g'rents in Florida. Fireworks are fun :happy055:

Ya, in most of the cities around her fireworks (especially that stuff) are illegal too. Glad they live out in the sticks :)

The big blox box that says PRO on it, There are actually 4 different displays in there, that you wire together.

At the wholesale thingy, they displayed a lot of this stuff. So all the stuff he bought he got to see ahead of time. So hopefully no 'that's it' this year :)

Bottle rockets here are anywhere from 79 cents to 99 cents a gross, a gross is 12 dozen - 12 dozen, which is a total of 144 of them... I used to work at a firework store so I got to test out tons of fireworks, it was so awesome.... Ok, It time for bed for me..... :happy055:

I love the 4th of July, it is my favorite holiday by far!!! Every year my dad and I go to Missouri and buy a bunch of illegal (in this state) fireworks, and occasionally get some class B display fireworks on the black market, lol. One year we picked up 15 salutes that were each a 1/4 stick of dynamite, and we got a bunch of 4 inch shells.

This year I applied for my federal explosives license with the ATF and hope to have it in time by the 4th. That way we can buy wholesale and get a lot of the good stuff. If so the sky will be lit with some impressive booms and flashes

I will be sure to keep anyone posted if they are interested in the fireworks, and hopefully I'll get some pics of my 'stash' if I am able to get the license. If not it will be a long wait until next year
