It's not a 4th of July celebration, of course, without fireworks.

And for one Henry County store, that means business is booming right now, as you'll see, the store's owner has a real love of fireworks and it's a passion he's ignited in his own family as well.

My dad didn't have any sons, so it was me and my two little sisters.

And he let us be as wild as we wanted to be.

And we got into everything.

And so if it was if it would boom, if it was dangerous, if it was a daredevil thing, he he was encouraging it.

If he wasn't the one starting it.

I think then we might be unique in that, you know, me, my daughter, my other daughters, my grandchildren, all work here and now.

They're their buddies in the school or our neighbors behind us are also, you know, come and be part of it or even work with me on the show.

Started out not in the business, started out shooting in the backyard with her and our sisters and then when it became legal in 2010 to sell fireworks here, she and I decided, let's see if we can make a little money off of what we like.

And so we opened a tent in in La Grange in 2012 and did that for five years.

We did it for another company the first two years and decided we didn't like that business model.

We really like to have our own control so excited about our own stuff, go to the trade shows on our own, go to all the demos on our own and hand-pick everything.

The vast majority is what you see here is all consumer.

Hundreds and hundreds of consumer options to be able to do on a very small level what they see somebody else do.

In the professional world.

There's novelties and then there's big boxes and mid-sized boxes.

Then you have rockets, smoke.

We have an entire wall of smoke behind me.

Sparklers, firecrackers, balloons like the.

Chinese lander.

Chinese lighters.

Assortments with everything in them.

I think the people who love fireworks love it because it is different.

It's it's visually pleasing.

I think there's like an aspect of that maybe just deep down some instinctual thing where it's like man created fire and now we can control it.

We want to make sure everybody is safe when they're doing it, but they're able to do like the creativity, like they're able to take these, you know, they'll take $400 worth of stuff and put together this whole show and put music to it.

And and it's it's a type of art is a type of like choreography with with these pyrotechnics.

And I think with fireworks, that's the one place where you see, regardless of the age, everybody got to participate.

Everybody got to watch or help our biggest sell period.

It's going to be usually is obviously 4th of July.

The 4th of July, the very first, 4th of July, they had fireworks like we have been using fireworks longer.

Fireworks have been in use longer in America's been a country to celebrate with.

And and you can look at other countries and see that.

All around the world it's all about celebrations.

And this is like an exclamation point that you can put on any celebration.

During the store stores off season.

The Barbour family says their biggest customers are photographers and farmers.

Farmers use rockets to scare off unwanted animals on their property and photographers use their smokes for senior photos and other special events.
