(WLOX) - Fireworks sales could be much better, but they are pretty good for a pandemic year.

Karen Stein and her daughter love fireworks, of all kinds. “I like colors,” Stein said. “I like artillery shells. I like fountains. I like Roman candles.” And although this year’s display will be for immediate family only, she’s not holding back.
