One year we went to Lewes DE on the beach and every one had immense displays. Mortors and tubes that went up over 300 feet. We had a sort of competition. We stopped when they sent a helicopter to check it out.The year before we tried to get a permit and was told just do it on the beach like everyone else, but I guess the beach folk had too large of display. Funny enough the night before we did a large display on the South River in Annapolis( Annapolis was doing it on the 3rd) and so did the neighbors on either side of the river. Sure enough we got the attention of DNR and a warning. Thankfully we had already shot off the big stuff. This year we kept tradtion and went down to the bulkead and dock and set up the motors 150-200 feet double shot, repeaters and rockets and tubes (200-300) The neighbors across the river had a better display but I was using the remnants from two years ago. We kept a watch with binoculors for DNR and a neighbor had a boat at the intersection of the creek and river to watch display. No warning tickets this year. So we all enjoyed a celebration of our rebel sentiments. By the way Phantom Fireworks have a great sale and quality of stuff. They are in PA and sell to out of state buyers.

I know <i>my</i> yard looks less like grass and more like I'm raising straw. I get nervous when folks flick cigarette butts around here... So I added insult to injury and went to the small town fireworks display, which was somehow perfectly legal and (ironically) put on by the FD. 'Salright, though.

Does anybody know what's up with the fireworks being sold in Virginia? Are the ones that fly up and/or explode (M-80's, bottle rockets, etc.) banned from being sold in this state?
