Heckman is the executive director of the American Pyrotechnics Association, based in Bethesda. The group is the main fireworks trade association, including fireworks design companies, manufacturers and local retailers. How are local fireworks sales this year?
Retail fireworks sales started this weekend in the District. I just traveled from North Carolina and stopped in a number of retails establishments in the District and was surprised to see how business is booming. This weekend is by far when people will be purchasing their fireworks for the upcoming long weekend. We’re off to a very good start.
