Illinois consumers are flocking to neighboring states to buy fireworks.
Illinois, Vermont and Massachusetts are the only U.S. states that ban most fireworks.
Deanna Delimat, co-owner of Black Bull Fireworks in Salem, Wisconsin, said she sees a lot of customers from the Land of Lincoln.
James Meyers, owner of Captain Jim’s Fireworks in West Alton, Missouri, said about half his customers come from Illinois.
Both store owners said sales are up this year, as the United States celebrates 250 years of independence.
