Gerry Diltz will light the fuse for one last fireworks extravaganza before putting away his punk for good.
Diltz, who has capped each Independence Day holiday with a large fireworks show in Gas, said he no longer will shoot off fireworks after this year.
“It’s just become so cost-prohibitive,” Diltz said. “We used to be able to cover the cost of the show by the money we earn from the stand. Now, that doesn’t come close.”
