Yes… You used to be able to buy fireworks here while watching ostriches strut behind glass.
Jerry here to wish you a Happy New Year, as well as take you down memory lane. This story starts long before Fireworks Country became what it is today. My land was home to ostriches, yeah, the birds. We were early in the ostrich industry. Their hides went into luxury boots, casino countertops, and even Mercedes interiors.
So when we started experimenting with fireworks, the ostriches were still here. I put glass windows between the barn and the store so customers could browse fireworks while watching 7-foot birds pacing around behind them. It was one strange, unforgettable era. Eventually, the ostrich market crashed. I sold off the birds and leaned fully into fireworks. Once the fireworks outperformed the ostriches financially, I knew exactly which direction the future was going.
