[monicavm]

so you do fireworks for Hallowe'en? I've never heard of that.

@monicavm It is the only time you can buy fireworks here. Only in the last 2 weeks of October. Halloween is a very big event here. Our island also puts on a huge Fireworks display in the main town. People dress up and gather in Ganges. The firehall gives free hot chocolate and hotdogs to everyone. It is a blast.

My guess is that Wallace doesn't like the "sound" of fireworks!

Wow, so many for sale!

[BananaJSSI]

@bluesforU2 He would hate the noise. I'll keep him indoors.

We always used to love fireworks time, but sadly many spoilt this good funtime for everyone!

[BananaJSSI]

@annemaree It is true. Many places on our south coast have stopped selling them because of people who misuse them.

When my finances look better I'll join the celebration!

Before that, a Salt Spring Island hike would do just as well;

coming by public ferry is pretty reasonably priced from what I know.

[BananaJSSI]

@V9ty9 Walk onis cheapest. A car with a family of four coming from the mainland may cost over $150 or so

[Graveltrucker]

No smoking please LOL. What is fireworks worth I haven't bought any in years.

[BananaJSSI]

@Graveltrucker The big ones cost a few bucks for sure. I but 12 packs of sky rockets for $3.99 and Air Bombs are approx. $1.49 each. I usually buy a $100 bucks worth every year.

[Graveltrucker]

@BananaJSSI The prices are not too bad, buy a 100 dollars worth of fireworks another 100 worth of candy to hand out your all ready to go.

[BananaJSSI]

@Graveltrucker We live so fa out in the boonies that there are no trick or treaters on this far north end of the island. Same when I lived in Langley, we were so far out in the boonies we never saw a trick or treater in the 17 years I lived there, lol

[Graveltrucker]

@Graveltrucker There is no kids left in the neighbourhood where I live aswell no point in buying any candy if I do I end up eating it I don't need to get any fatter lol.

[BananaJSSI]

@Graveltrucker That's the problem, if I did buy candy I would eat it, lol
