AUBURN — People are in a celebratory mood again — and what better way to observe the July 4 holiday by launching booming fireworks over Great Falls on Monday night.
For Steve Marson, owner of Central Maine Pyrotechnics, 2021 has been a return to normal and then some.
In 2020, the business, which puts on fireworks displays throughout New England, lost $1.5 million due to canceled shows. Instead of the usual 100 or so shows over Fourth of July weekend, Marson said they did 10 last year.
