Great to have someone from Delaware on the forums. I was curious how many ATF 1.3 fireworks license holders there are in Delaware. According to my records without mentioning their name. There is only person holding a 1.3 fireworks license. He is located in Sussex County in the town of Lewes.

@Displayfireworks1, I know of another guy (My old boss of the company I worked for) and he lives 5 mins away from me in northern Delaware. Hoping to add another to you're list after I watch your video that I just bought.

[Shootingstar_pyro86]

Thanks for the welcome guys. @pyromaniac1981, I found a few of you're videos online. You did a few shows that are only about 15 mins away from me. Nice job.

Welcome.

I don't have any direct knowledge but, my understanding is that making money with a small display company can be a real challenge. Make sure you do your homework. Now you just need to find yourself a club.

Thanks man, but I was only 1 out of 7 that made it happen.

[Shootingstar_pyro86]

Thanks blam blam. Well I'm short and bald so I've always been up for a challenge. Yea that's the problem with Delaware, no pyro club. And Delaware is not a pyro friendly state. But if there is enough delaware people that are interested, maybe we can start something.

The PA Pyros and CrackerJacks aren't that far from you and have members from DE. Clubs don't meet in DE and MD for a whole lotta reasons. Then of course their's M.A.F.F. which is a whole different beast entirely.

[Shootingstar_pyro86]

Welcome aboard Tommy. I spent 6 years in Dover flying the C-5. Delaware wasn't fireworks friendly back then either. Other than that, I enjoyed my stint in the state.

[Shootingstar_pyro86]

First let me say this. Thank you for you're service fat cat. And yea Delaware has never been fireworks friendly. Hell Road island is smaller then us and they are more fireworks friendly then Delaware. I have lived here all my life so i know how it goes.

I'm up for it (Talleyville)...

Delahwho? Delawhat? Oh, Delaware! lol... Hey there Tommy! Didn't expect to see any pyro's from Delaware on here. Honestly, I didn't expect to hear that any pyro's even lived in Delaware! Before the Air Force sent us to Tampa, we spent 9 years stationed at Dover AFB. (Take the "D" out of Dover and it's over) It was quite the culture shock arriving in Dover from Honolulu, but we loved our time there. Not very pyro friendly!! But it was a great place to live and raise your kids.

So where do you shoot in Delaware? I don't recall ever seeing a show in Dover while we were there (1988-1997)

[dwright1542]

I'm Delaware as well, but shoot only in PA.
