\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>A lot of parents struggle to get through the Fourth of July fireworks. Whether it is parking and waiting at Coors Field, or driving to some distant location to get a decent look at the firework displays across the city. And then there are the dads who have a strong interest in pyrotechnics and prefer to create the firework displays all on their own. The major benefit of this is not having to go anywhere, and usually, kids are just as impressed with these backyard displays as they are with the grand fireworks shows put on by the city or local sports teams<\/a>.\n\n\u201cWe have been doing it for about five years now,\u201d said drunk Stapleton dad and firework enthusiast Brian May. \u201cI go buy a bunch of really good stuff across the border in Wyoming. Then, everyone kind of has some of their random stuff and we start early lighting off the little stuff, and eventually, we have a big show over at the local pocket park.\u201d May said that he didn\u2019t think any of the fireworks were very dangerous. \u201cNone of them would be illegal if you were firing them off over international waters.\u201d\nAlthough the majority of residents enjoy and even participate in these local displays, not everyone appreciates them. \u201cI know they are just trying to have a good time,\u201d said concerned resident Jenny Steiner. \u201cBut there are a lot of things that could go wrong. Young children are close by, and some of us simply don\u2019t like the noise.\u201d Steiner also is worried about the fire danger. \u201cI know the fire station<\/a> is close by, but if a house caught fire in this neighborhood, an entire borough<\/a> could be wiped out.\u201d\n\u201cI think we have done a pretty good job of keeping things safe,\u201d said May. \u201cThe important thing is that myself and the other dads have a great time lighting crap off and the kids love it. We even had four year olds lighting off roman candles.\u201d The backyard Stapleton firework displays seem to be a big hit and it seems they will continue for many years.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
