Not quite as spectacular, just take a pile of 20. bills and set fire to them.. Same thing.

Costco.ca USED TO SELL Fireworks, and would have $200 off a big big box in May. Would last all year.

Sad to say, no more.

I was the transporter, feeder, houser, entertainer, camp fire supplier, etc for many of my Children's friends at the Cabin for years.

What they all remember is the fireworks.

But yeah, P$$sed away alot of $ on fireworks. Uncle Eds Fireworks in Edmonton is pretty good, but not cheap. Don't know if they have an outlet down south.

I love walking into the Purolator depot to pick up a box clearly labeled with "explosive" stickers. Just for kicks I have intentionally dropped the box when opening the door. The employees were ducking behind the counter like the box would detonate Obviously they don't read the labels and have forgotten all their TDG training.

I did my shopping at https://www.rocketfireworks.ca/ they usually run a free shipping promo and have decent pricing. Much better than the gas station packs.

Default Fireworks

I just pick them up when I see them on sale. One thing that has changed for me is that I now hoard until New Years Eve, cuz it’s too bloody dry any other time of the year. Too scary to contemplate unless there’s snow or at least some frost.

Just thought I'd share... Went looking for some last weekend.

Don't bother trying to buy fireworks in Longview anymore.
Gas station doesn't sell 'em, same goes for the one in Bearspaw too.
Not sure if there was any in Nanton, next time I'm thru I'll check.

I'm guessing Olds, or maybe one of the Indian Reservations... Unless you wanna pay for shipping from KABOOM dot COM.
