Due to the rain over Canada Day weekend, firework shows across the Maritimes have been put on hold. One Island Uncle saw that as his opportunity to take the coveted title of “Biggest Firework show East of Montreal”.





“A couple of beers, a couple darts, and you got yourself a great firework show.” Said the Island Uncle. When asked by Mosquito Reporters where he got the fireworks from he went on to say that he has a friend that works at the gas station before the bridge on the other side.

The show will open with a number of sonic booms shot off at random intervals. Next the crowd will be dazzled with the running of the sparklers by his nieces and nephews before the big finale: a Roman Candle fight where three men wearing muscle shirts will attempt to shoot each other with flaming balls of colourful fire.





When asked how he will combat the forecasted rain that has shut down all the other firework shows, the Uncle replied “The trick is to light two darts, one for yourself, and one to light everything. Smoke the first one while you light the fireworks then smoke the second to watch the show. It’s a two dart show”





So this Canada Day, make your way to Uncle Rick’s backyard, the show will start once all the neighbours have gone to sleep. The Mosquito would like remind readers that Fireworks are dangerous and should not be handled by children. Please leave that to the adults who have been drinking all day.
