Fourth of July Family Fireworks

[YellowHammer]

We have a big friends and family fireworks display every 4rth of July, been doing it for more than 30 years.  Our farm is out in the middle of nowhere and we provide a safe and open place for all our people to get out of their subdivisions and have fun with their firecrackers and bottle rockets.  For those you who know my background it's probably natural to assume I kind of go a little overboard with my displays, and you would be right! 

We had nearly 30 people, and in the afternoon, we fed them burgers and hotdogs, all the fixings, desert, with everybody telling hunting, fishing or family lies, it was great. 

Then once it got dark, everybody got to have fun lighting their stuff up for a while. At the beginning of "shoot and shout" session, we launched an array of 38 mortars sequentially, just to rock the echoes off the hills, let the neighbors know another Hobby Hardwood display was about to start and they needed to get outside on their porch and watch!  We are on a hill and visible for a long ways. 

Then after a couple hours, to close it out, we did the Grand Finale.  Here is a short video of it, at the close. Go to full screen mode (while the video is playing, hit the full screen icon on the bottom right of the video pane, or hover over the video with your cursor and hit F on your keyboard), turn up the volume and enjoy, I know I did!

Now I get to clean up the mess, but it's worth it!

I enjoyed it too!!!!!

I bought some like that one year, but did not last that long.
But $100 don't last long.
Then I went back to small things and played all afternoon and into the night too.
