Fireworks stands saw strong sales ahead of the Fourth of July weekend as families prepared to celebrate America’s 250th birthday.
Local Families Show Patriotism
At the TNT Fireworks stand off Foster Road, owners said more people have been stopping by to buy fireworks this season. Anna Currier, who runs the TNT Fireworks stand, said, “I think especially here people and their patriotism, they are just so loyal to America. They want that celebration and nostalgia feeling.”
For shoppers who are not sure what to buy, 10-year-old Kristiana Currier has some recommendations. “If you are buying something loud, I would recommend you get American Scream,” Kristiana said. “But if you want a show I would start with the Perfect Show. And if you want something bigger, I would go to Big Deluxe.”
Kristiana said her personal favorites are the colorful fireworks. “I love lots of color,” Kristiana said. “For the Fourth of July, I would like to see red, white and blue.”
Anna Currier said fireworks are a way for families to come together and celebrate. “You know when you see fireworks you are celebrating something and it’s a joyous experience,” Currier said. “It’s just like the moment stops, the kids are quiet, it’s just happy.”
