1st day of firework sales is in the books
and as usual it was a pitiful day.I sure wished people would shop earlier but maybe the temptation of lighting them off is too great or the parents don't want to listen to the kids beg them to shoot something for the next two weeks.

Either way it was a slow sales day but we got alot done and the place is looking good.T-minus 10 days before all hell breaks loose.

You may have county/city restrictions as well.
That doesn't tell what the penalties are, but I am somewhat disturbed that we don't require insurance for display operators.

The penalty is living in Omaha in the first place.

we did the firing of bottle rockets at other passing cars while driving.....
Object was to get one in an open window.

Like joisting....

Real M-80s blowing up everything.....We were lucky no one was killed.

Now kids riding a bicycle without a helmet is considered dangerous.

So this guy comes into today and I start visiting with him about our different multi-shots etc.

By the time we're finished he'd invested $743 in the biggest C-Class sale I've ever made to one individual and believe me at our prices he got one helluva show.

Just had to share this story as I was a bit in awe,especially after I asked him how large a group he was entertaining and he told me just his immediate family of 5.

Wow.

That's amazing. Someone in his family dying this year?

I think out of the 8 years we did the Fireworks thing, the biggest customer we had spent $480. $773 is .....wow.

Well a new season has begun and so far on our first day a whopping 6 customers,thankfully one of them was a fairly decent sale.

I'm somewhat concerned about this season as I've heard from other firework retailers that Wednesday is the worst day the holiday could fall on,I guess I'll know for sure before long.

Yeah our heaviest days are the 1st thru the 4th but we don't slash prices,the fireworks get boxed up and shipped back.

It always starts on June 27th here in Topuka. They must know it is our anniversary that day. Something meaningful to celebrate.

Holy shit what a freaking madhouse today,just closed up a bit ago after a $200+ sale to some folks who drove up here from Topeka because we got the good stuff.

Oh and Jazzlover and Darkwolfe if you're reading this thanks so much for driving up from KC to say hey and buy some fireworks I really appreciate it.
