Western Display will be responsible for putting on the City of Boise's big fireworks show on July 4th, which this year has been moved to Expo Idaho.
Weekend Edition host George Prentice talks with Heather Gobet, co-owner and manager of Western Display Firework from their headquarters in Canby, Oregon. You can listen to their interview below.
