I've been watching them since I was a little kid and just came to see what they have," says Grant.He's not the only one. Alex Wimberly has bottle rockers on his mind."I like the car ride. It's like going on vacation. I like coming to new ones every year. We go to one one year and another a different year," says Wimberly.Some like fireworks so much, they drive from Middle Valley."We were over here watching the fireworks at Camp Jordan watching the fireworks and we just left there to come over here to get us a refill," says Rick Rice.And welcome the news of a store closer to home."It's actually very convenient.
