LOL@skyler. Illegal in Illinois except sparklers, smoke bombs and the like. Lots of folks buy just across the state line in Indiana and so there's usually no shortage of things that go pop in the night. Peoria has an especially great display called their "Sky Concert" where the fireworks are in time to music played on a local radio station. Very nice for a metro area of about 350K. We and two other couples typically have an afternoon picnic then journey to Peoria for the display. Lots of small town displays also in the area and sometimes take in a few of them, too.

I used to get small fireworks and shoot them off, but that's not a biggie anymore. Pretty well content myself with the pro displays.
