Cracker Shop

We drove to the fireworks shop yesterday. It was a beautiful day for a drive through the woods of Vermont. We didn’t get the chance to do this last year due to covid.

As usual, the store (which is just over the New Hampshire border) didn’t disappoint and the array of products was mesmerizing.

4000 crackers in one go! $100 up in smoke! I wonder how long this would take to go off? I’d love to hear the noise. This was hardly the biggest they had; there was a 16000 cracker version as well!

The art on the packaging was as bizarre as ever and liberally infringed on various copyrights.

I think that’s based on Nicholas Cage?

These were new: fireworks houses in plastic containers. In retrospect we should have bought one…

That’s one of the $400 multipacks they had. You could even buy prepacked selections for $1200!

Except… the prices were all discounted! We couldn’t see any sign for it anywhere but what we bought came to only about $20, which seemed to be a deep discount. Mostly we bought a few light launchers (Roman candles) because only fountains are legal here but had I know how cheap it all was I may have purchased more.

Of course I’ll also buy a bunch of ‘fountains’ from the local sellers once they set up their tents. July 4 promises to be a good one once again this year 🙂
