This program will focus on saltpeter mining and the chemistry behind fireworks (what makes them red and blue, etc.) Then walk down to the gravel bar and watch and fireworks show!
I'm from St. Louis but have been living in Phoenix, AZ for the last 14 years. I miss all the stuff you listed SO MUCH! Great fireworks, great food, great fun!
