Much like the Little Rascals, finding fireworks was a major pursuit for my friends and I as a child.

Things like sparklers and smoke bombs and other benign fireworks could be found in stores around the 4^th of July, but the real stuff was hard to find. For my friend, firecrackers were what he desired and he would spend the 2 weeks after the 4^th looking along the side of the road for any firecrackers that had not exploded. My personal obsession was bottle rockets and moon travelers. We often bought or traded for anything we could find. I think I still have a few lady fingers in a drawer from those days.

In some areas, you could find a firework stand the last couple weeks before July 4^th.

Occasionally, these roadside firework stands had larger fountains and ground displays. I would spend all I had, even though they never had things like Roman candles or bottle rockets.

Nowadays, you can go to places like Xtreme Fireworks in Caledonia, WI and get nearly anything you want.

Firecrackers, bottle rockets, and even sparklers for those that do not like loud noises. They have aerial display fireworks larger than I would have dreamed of when I was a kid. Rockets of all kinds as well as ground displays. You name it, Extreme Fireworks probably has fireworks at least close to it. They have the name brand fireworks too, like Black Cat firecrackers, my friend’s favorite firecracker.
