How appropriate Les that you had one called "Hammer Time" in your stash from last year. That should be paying you a royalty for the name. :lol:

LOL! I have more of those for this year too! Fitz and the gang continue to expand their Hammer and Anvil product line. Check 'em out Dave. Seriously... you need to do this. :) I may even have a 4th neighbor wanting to get in on the action for 2024. I have a pyro crazy neighborhood so trying to send some biz over to Queen City since they have taken such wonderful care of me, my neighbors, etc.

Been working on fusing my racks together for the show on 7/1.... that is the date of my party this year! :) Got the 12 shot rack and 2 16 shot racks done today. Will do the 50 shot rack tomorrow. That one is my finale rack and this year Fitz and the Gang at Queen City have 6" shells. Yes... 6" shells. Arthur Rozzi 6" shells. A must see people!








When I get back from Lake Erie, I'll have a 10 shot rack and 5 8 shot racks left to do. Neighbor will take care of prepping the cakes. :lol: I have a total of 144 mortar shots in the show now... so 6 cases of shells. :lol: Then Lord knows how many cakes we bought. Eh Mike? :lol: It's gonna be freaking KILLER!!! I am so pumped!

I get to catch walleye on Lake Erie and compete for money in 2 weeks then in 4 weeks I blow shit up!!!! I love my life! :)

Going to get with my neighbor this evening and get the order ready with regards to what cakes are being fired in what order and when to press a button on the other remote to fire off one of our many, many mortar racks. :lol: This is like the pregame to the Super Bowl for me. :lol:

I'd like to thank Queen City Fireworks, Fitz and the gang, etc for providing us (and their other customers) with great quality fireworks at a great price! I added a third neighbor this year and we may have a 4th wanting to get involved too for next year! We love the quality of these cakes and shells! So much better then what Phantom sells up the road from us. I had so many positive comments after the show how much brighter the colors were, how much higher the shells went before breaking, and those 500 G Fountains are the best on the market today! Our finale this year was 4 500 G fountains (2 Hammers and 2 Anvils) that I kicked off at the same time. After they got cranked up for a moment, then we did the last 16 shot rack followed by the finale 50 shot rack which was loaded with the 6" Arthur Rozzi Shells / The Craftsmen. Those shells are the best I have seen to date! I am getting more next year for sure!!!

Thanks again for coming out Les! I'm glad your show was a success!!!

I'm starting to get rested back up, had a long couple of weeks! I was personally on shows starting on June 29th through the 4th. Shot the City of Toledo's downtown show, then had to turn and burn to get back and reloaded to head to Lexington. We also had our big show in Blue Ash, that's a beast of it's own!

Time to get some rest and start prepping for the late summer shows and football season!

Hello all! The 4th of July is just 2 short months away so it's time to start thinking about your pyro plans for 2024! For me, the wheels have already been turning and I will be going out to see Mike (Fitz) and the gang at Queen City Fireworks tomorrow. My neighbors and I will be picking up our stash for this year's 4th of July Party! It is going to be EPIC! I can't wait! I am so excited!!! I'm always like a little kid on Christmas! :lol: Be sure to visit Queen City Fireworks for all of your celebratory needs!

Here is their YouTube Channel:


https://www.youtube.com/@queencityfireworks5542


Also, you MUST check out their Hammer and Anvil line of fireworks! You WILL NOT be disappointed. And yes... there is a YouTube Channel for that also. :lol:


https://www.youtube.com/@hammerfireworks


Most of you on here have known me for a long time and I don't endorse products or businesses that I do not fully believe in. These guys are Pros! You get good bang for your buck and the quality of their cakes and mortar shells are unmatched!!! They beat the absolute heck out of places like Phantom. Trust me, I know first hand. ;) Anyway, I hope you guys pay these folks a visit.


Here is their website and Facebook page for more information:

Another side note... Queen City Fireworks carries a lot of Raccoon Fireworks products as well. Raccoon fireworks quality is awesome, just like QC's Hammer and Anvil line of products. I highly recommend picking up both for your celebrations this year! :)
