When it’s right around the Fourth of July, there’s one thing on everybody’s mind: fireworks.
Since we live in the Live Free or Die state, we’re lucky enough to be able to buy our own fireworks and put on our own shows.
One place to get them is Champny’s Fireworks in Bow. It’s a family business that’s been a fixture in town for nearly 20 years, and it’s home to all the fireworks anyone could ask for.
We stopped in last week to see what we could find. We wanted to try to come up with some categories to make it easier for you.
Since there are so many different kinds of fireworks with so many different effects, designed for many different purposes, setting boundaries with categories seemed to be the most logical thing to do.
We looked for fireworks that best fit the following categories: Biggest Bang, Most Shots, Funniest Firework, Biggest Variety Pack, Kids’ Favorite and Best Bang for your Buck.
Keep in mind, the Kids’ Favorite category doesn’t mean the best fireworks to let kids play with – in fact, young kids should never play with any kinds of fireworks (but you knew that).
Deborah Colby, owner of Champny’s, described fireworks in that category as ones “that parents do for kids’ enjoyment.” So in other words, leave the lighting to the adults and the oohing an ahhing to the kids (though adults can ooh and ahh, too).
There’s really everything you could imagine – and plenty you couldn’t – at this place, so have a look.
