New year's isn't the same with out a few! I used to go out winfield to get them, but not sure if they are around still. I also heard there's a place on westside road but not sure where.

There is an east Indian store at the south end of Oliver .. right on the highway ... Great selection.

Thought you could buy them in Enderby too .

There is a store between Prince George and Quesnel that sells all sorts of crazy fireworks and stuff!

Go for a drive!

Yup....Enderby has a gas station at the end of town, husky if im right. They sold them there the last time I was in there.

Westside Road has a general store you could probably call them and see Little Kingdom

a'buddy" of mine got his there at 25% off ..Westside via Vernon. It's quicker that way.

Halloween used to be so cool when I was a lad. Bart's store on the corner of Pandosy and West Ave always had a fireworks booth set up a couple of weeks before the 31st and we'd spend our dimes and quarters on Atoms and Lady Fingers and whatnot and blow the bleep out of anything--including dog bleep--on the vacant lots around Raymer school.

Gone, those days. Closed, shut and gone. Now all these morbidly obese kids of today have is their damn 48 frame per second video games to blow off steam. No wonder the little *bleep* are shooting up schools.

Ever pound down a Screecher ???

nothing but good clean fun !!! can't do that anymore either ...

Race trak gas just before you enter Winfield. Drove by there yesterday and saw the fireworks stand open and signs out.

Yup - Notice that both of the stores mentioned are on First Nations reserves - The laws of Canada are not necessarily recognozed by their soverign nation.
