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.

Do you advertise what day you open up for business? I know here they don't, and I don't know what day they start selling unless I happen to drive by and see they're open.

The Missouri to Kansas way is much easier. My friends and I brought back about 500 gross of bottlerockets when we found them on sale for $ .49. We even got pulled over for speeding on the way back and no problems whatsoever.

Just a quick question, how long does it take one to fire off 500 gross (72,000) bottle rockets? I can remember one time having a dozen gross and I was so sick of shooting them off I just lit 2 gross on fire in a paper bag just to get it over with.

Some buddies and I used to buy about 20 gross per year... we'd be done in an hour or two. Of course, one of the coolest things to do is to unwrap a gross at a time, douse the suckers in lighter fluid and light the whole bunch. It's really fun if one of your buddy's younger brothers is in front of them........ so I've heard.

Every year I spend more than I should and I get sick of lighting them far before I'm out.

Not this year.. damnit.. I hope... yeah.. probably I'll just do the same thing I always do.

Heh...the last time I can recall having a large number of bottle rockets we did crazy stuff like that...trying to light 12 at a time, tearing the sticks off and twisting them together like firecrackers. That's always fun in a crowd.

IMO, if you didnt have about a dozen burn marks in your tshirt after you were done, you werent really getting into the spirit of bottle rocketry.

My wife's extended family lives in Peoria, Il. I was under the impression that fireworks were illegal in that state.

You mean to tell me those black helicoptors are real? All this time I thought they were just flashbacks from my younger, LSD years.

I always used to make it a point to be there on the first day. Its good to scout stuff, find the new stuff and since its slow the workers are always able to answer questions and let you know whats new and good. Of course I couldn't resist the temptation to buy some as well. But if you wait too long it gets too crazy and you might miss out on some things.

I have not seen a stand in Illinois, maybe they are. However, my neighborhood will sound like a war zone for about 48 hours during the Holiday. Professional firework displays are a big item up here. I think our Mayor is related to one of the people in that business. Our property taxes have gone up about 10% five years in a row. I hate her!

Hehe. We would take about 4-5 gross at a time, put them in a large coffee can with sand in the bottom to hold them upright. Then someone would light them up with a can of hairspray and a lighter. It was a pretty impressive show.

We also used to have some pretty hellacious bottle rocket wars. My buddy's parents used to head out of town every 4th of July and they had pretty big yard (.5-.75 acre or so). There'd be about 8-10 of us and we'd spend the day building our "forts" out of old window screens, cardboard boxes and such. We'd use conduit or something similar as a bottle rocket launcher (pre-sighted in, of course). It was a blast.

I never said we were smart...
