Julie Sammons works on placing the shells in the racks.
Here members of the “crew” pack the shells that will be used for the Grand Finale. Notice how they are tied together to give the “finale effect”.
Firefighters are on top of the deck to ensure the safety of the crew as well as the buildings around the deck. Hoses and firefighters are ready to go into action.
One of the “shooters” prepares to light a box of shells.
The “Grand Finale” going off is always exciting!
After the show is over, the “shooters” walk the perimeter of the deck to the cheers of their “fans”.
Much thanks to our wonderful pyrotechnics crew for putting on a safe display and to our wonderful Firefighters for ensuring the safety of our citizens. Putting on the 4th of July is a collaboration of Special Events with the Police and Fire Department. Thanks to everyone for a great holiday!
