Without your fireworks.
The three signs headed south on I-29 toward Sioux City, Iowa, beckon travelers to the warehouses, shanties and backs of pick-ups
along the state border filled with bottle-rockets, hammer crackers, Black Cats, and old-fashioned plastic bags of multi-colored assorted smoke.
But this year, some of those fireworks didn t ever reach South Dakota and they might not. We re still waiting on a container, said Sally Barber, who owns Zort s Fireworks (buying from Zort, himself in 2003) with her husband in North Sioux City, at about mile marker 2. Their store is busy on a weeknight to open in-state sales. Boxes of Cocoa Palm ($59.99) and The Godfather tower along walls. Bluesy organ plays over speakers while mounted TVs advertise explosion patterns. They got two containers earlier this week, but one is held up somewhere between Kansas City and California.
South Dakota s mom-and-pop fireworks stands (and warehouses) forge ahead in tough year
