Title: Need to locate a fireworks sales place on I-70/177 between KC and Manhattan
Post by: Pete on June 30, 2011, 11:01:34 AM
Guys,

Canadian Mod that I know, you don't know him, is driving from KC to Manhattan Friday afternoon to Pak with other Canadian Mods and a Big Shot Canadian Attorney.  They are all from Canada, so you prolly don't know them.

Anyway, this Canadian Mod wants to show up at the other Canadian Mod's Manhattan home with a crap ton of fireworks to set off Friday night, when all the Canadians are super drunk.  So, he needs to know if he can plan on easily finding a fireworks sales stand on I-70 or 177 on the way to Manhattan.

Can anyone confirm?

If he's going to be in KC might as well just go accross the border to Missouri and get the fun fireworks (and bottle rockets for the hell of it)

Fireworks account for 15% of the state of missouri's GDP in June and July so yes.

LOADS of Canada and Canadian fact noobs in this thread.


First, the Canadian does NOT have time back track to Missouri and MUST find something between KC and Manhattan.

Second, word is that the Canadian LOVES those huge mortor things and plans to load up on those, as well as sparklers, cones, roman candles, parachuttes, maybe a few of those chickens, smoke grenades for a Canadian Mod who asked for them but prolly won't show up, and other "night time" fireworks to amaze and delight the other Canadians.

Third, even IF iowacat69 were driving through Missouri and were to stop, and IF, IF he were to be meeting up with a Canadian, that Canadian would NO DOUBT want to stop again to inspect fireworks selections and a few of his own choices, as the Canadian loves the crap out of fireworks and gets very, very picky.

I'm not one to judge, having never met a Canadian before and not knowing their typical personalities, but this Canadian sounds pretty bitchy....

yes, confirmed

Take Auburn Rd exit, go south a bit and turn left when you see the tent.  It's slightly north of 21st and Auburn rd. Don't drive past the tent, or you will have to turn around like a schlep.

Pete, if you'd stayed at VegasPak one more day you'd have known not to associate with Canadians.

Any Manhattanites able to confirm location/quality of fireworks stands between I70/177 interchange and Tuttle creek parkway?
