The global pandemic has forced our community to cancel the 4th of July Fireworks Extravaganza this year. However, at WBKP radio we are proud to bring you audio from last year’s event.
Please enjoy the sounds of the fireworks and the delight of the crowd as we celebrate our country’s independence, from the safety of our homes!

“Do you ever wonder what would happen if everyone got sick all at once, though?
[BOOM]
“What?”
[BOOM BOOM BOOM]
“I mean, a hundred thousand people sick and dead… all in a couple of months??”
[BOOM-FIZZ-POP]
“And then what if thousands—MILLIONS—of people started losing their jobs?!”
[POP POP POP]
“Why are you even talking like this?”
[FIZZZZT]
“I know. But—what if that happened?!”
[CRACKLE CRACKLE CRACKLE]
[BOOM BOOM KA-BOOM BOOM]
“And what if all those people were so scared of losing their jobs that they kept showing up for work, even though that meant they could also get sick and die? Because otherwise, they couldn’t pay their rent or mortgage, or their health insurance?”

“But what if it did happen?”

“Yeah.”
[RUMBLE]
“And then if they told us, ‘Just wear a mask and nobody will get sick.' But then people start arguing about whether or not they should even be told to wear a mask, and fights would break out about it?”
[KA-BOOM]
“Haha, you’re crazy, man.”
[POP]
“Yeah that's kind of crazy, right?!”
[RUMBLE RUMBLE]
“You know what? If I thought I was gonna die, I would set off fireworks every day.”
