DeRidder fireworks stands are preparing for a busy weekend as Beauregard Parish residents are getting ready to entertain family with at-home fireworks shows for the New Year’s holiday.
“There may be a few organizations holding firework shows, but I think for the most part everyone is planning on staying home and lighting fireworks with family this year,” stated Alexis Allemang who works the Hale firework stand with her family.
As customers came in, they all echoed Allemang’s sentiment, with each family buying what they hoped would be show stoppers for their family members.
“We’re just hoping the rains hold off so that we can enjoy it,” said Angie Stracener, whose two teenaged sons debated which fireworks would be the biggest and greatest. “We’re just going to have a bonfire at the house and enjoy the night.”
Customer Donnie Walley said that he hoped to be in bed at midnight, but that wasn’t going to stop him from enjoying a few fireworks.
“I have a grandchild now, so I guess this is going to become an annual event,” he said.
Allemang said that as New Year’s night approaches, her family will be preparing to put in some late hours.
“Last year we were open until about 3 a.m., and we’re prepared to do it again this year if we have customers that late,” she said. “It’s really not that bad, just get yourself pumped up for it when it starts to get busy. Sometimes we can even watch people’s shows from our tent so we’re really not even missing out.”
