Canada Day, Guy Fawkes Day, Diwali, the Fourth of July, Bastille day, New Years Eve... What do they have in common? That's right, FIREWORKS!!
Ever since I was a kid there were two BIG days in my life, both in May. My birthday and Queen Victoria's birthday - one right after the other - how lucky was that? Of course Victoria Day was usually a nearby Monday, but in my heart of hearts it was on the 24th. Besides, what did it matter? It was the day we shot fireworks in the backyard, did crazy things with firecrackers, and lit THE BURNING SCHOOLHOUSE!!
Yes, the BSH, invented right here in southern Ontario in the late 30's by Hands Fireworks. There are countless versions and revisions, but only one original, my childhood Burning School House.
This year AirMagic is going to celebrate this iconic Canadian invention. As well as bringing you the best consumer fireworks from around the world, we will be paying homage to the BSH!
Stay tuned for the details - and start counting down the days.
