Leeann Riggins visited the TNT Fireworks tent Tuesday afternoon searching for smaller, safer items for the younger members of the community.

“I’m the youth director at Black Springs Baptist Church and wanted to do something for the kids, give them something fun to do,” Riggins said.

Riggins left with mostly sparklers, but said she would “probably” return later in the week.

“Our fireworks are reasonably priced, and they’re probably some of the lowest you can get. We have containers and buy one, get one free items — some very good deals,” Canty said. “I guess people are just looking for something to do on the Fourth of July after their barbecues. We’ll have more coming in, and we’ll have plenty available if people want to stop by and purchase high-quality, legal materials for their Fourth.”

Despite the fact that both tents are now open to the public (and both are keeping evening hours as late as 10 p.m.), both Canty and Wells admit that the big sale days will come later this week.

“Traffic has been pretty steady for our first day, but the majority of our money is made on July 3 and July 4,” Wells said.
