Firecracker 5000 Fort Worth
Firecrackers - or Fireworks as they are called in England are set off on November 5th each year. This is to commemorate the anniversary of the failed attempt by Guido Fawkes and his accomplices to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London, along with it's members of that parliament and the Monarchy. The conspirators aimed to do this dastardly deed using gunpowder - and it is with gunpowder that fireworks are made. A 'Guy' - a lifesize model of Guido (Guy) Fawkes is usually placed on top of a bonfire and ceremoniously burned to death. About two weeks before 'Bonfire Night' as it is called, kids make their Guys out of old clothes (some using their fathers' not so old clothes I might say!) and wheel around these Guys begging for 'Penny for the Guy'. All monies we trust are spent on fireworks and not on ten number 6 and a box of matches!
