Preparation for many Kentucky residents who plan on attending the WEBN fireworks have begun in earnest, as many have already removed their shirts. As an additional measure of preparation, many Kentuckians have stopped showering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhoooo! Yeah!\u201d exclaimed Devin Combs as he exited his Latonia home, removing his shirt and throwing it into the yard. \u201cWEBN! Fireworks! Whoo!\u201d As amazing and eloquent as this speech was, the true sight to behold was Devin\u2019s ability to remove his shirt and say the words all while holding a lit cigarette in his mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar scenes are taking place all around the Northern Kentucky area. \u201cWe have to really be alert this time of year,\u201d said Misty Bowling, manager of the Bellevue, Kentucky Kroger. \u201cOur policy banning people from coming into the store shirtless really gets tested on an hourly basis. Usually, we just have them return to their car and have the six year old kid they left in there come in to buy the groceries. Although, if they want to buy beer or cigarettes, they\u2019ll have to either find a shirt to put on or find a relative who doesn\u2019t party so hard. Also, our soap sales really plummet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tradition of not showering ahead of the fireworks dates back to the mid 1980\u2019s. \u201cThat\u2019s when a bunch of us figured out the best way to stake a good spot,\u201d said annual fireworks attendee Troy Oakes. \u201cNo one wants to sit around me and my family if we\u2019re good and ripe and sitting in our own country essence. We don\u2019t have to lay down blankets to save our spots, we just roll around on the cement.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LATONIA, KY&nbsp;&#8211; With Labor Day rapidly approaching, people around the Tri-State are getting ready to celebrate the long weekend.
