Fireworks shopping

By Christine Moser, Albert Lea Tribune

Vanessa Carberry, left, points at her choice of fireworks to

Wayne Stinehart of Albert Lea, at the TNT Fireworks tent in the

Wal-Mart parking lot. They will be selling fireworks until July

4. The state legislature passed a bill this year legalizing certain

fireworks, most notably sparklers and other non-exploding novelties.

At least two tents have sprung up in Albert Lea to sell fireworks

and many stores have stocked them.
