About us
A Kansas fireworks family since 1987
Thirty-nine seasons of buying, testing and hauling product so that stand operators across seven states can open with confidence.
Our story
We buy the way a stand operator would
We visit our manufacturers, attend demos of prospective manufacturers, and always seek out new and creative products to bring our customers, year after year. Nothing goes into the catalog that we have not seen fired.
We listen to and value your constructive feedback, which is why you will always find competitive prices and a variety of products for all taste buds — whether you are 4 or 94.
Fresh inventory
Inventory is refreshed annually. You are not buying last season's leftovers.
Community owned stands
Every retail stand we supply is run by a non-profit, community centered fundraising group.
Wholesale year round
We sell wholesale 365 days a year with an 8 case minimum, no exceptions.
Where we can ship
Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa and Tennessee.
How a season runs
Winter buying
Demos, factory visits and container orders placed before the new catalog is set.
Spring orders
Wholesale accounts place season orders and lock in early-bird case pricing.
Stand setup
Product, racks and signage delivered to each non-profit group ahead of opening.
June 27 – July 4
Stands open, restocks run daily, and the season's proceeds go back to the groups.
Our people
A family run business
Steve
In loving memory of a husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather who loved fireworks, his family, God, his country, and the K-State Wildcats. We were blessed with 80 years of his wisdom, love, kindness, incredible wealth of knowledge, and infectious smile. Forever our Mr. Firecracker and forever in our hearts.

Michelle is our oldest daughter. Her involvement with fireworks started in 1988 at the home fireworks stand. Throughout the years she has worked in most all areas of both fireworks businesses. Her current duties include organizing the consumer fireworks inventory, filling orders, and overseeing all warehouse personnel.
Amber
Amber is our middle daughter, and her involvement began at a very early age. After pursuing other avenues she returned in January 2007 as our Administrative Assistant, then focused on the display fireworks side and was promoted to Senior Administrative Assistant. In October 2016 she moved to the consumer fireworks side.
