Sorry I didn't get back sooner! We do carry some World Class products, but prices from their wholesaler went up quite a bit this year, so we did a lot of spot picking from their catalog. We have a lot of fountains, etc., I'd have to see the exact one to be sure. Like you said Les, lots of supply issues going on. We did just get some Death shells, Bam Bam tubes, and other odds and ends in this weekend, so we are still in good shape supply wise!

No problem! It's your busiest time of year. :lol: I couldn't even get the Brew Ha Ha fountains this year. Def a lot of supply issues out there but the up side is... I am trying a lot of new things out this year so that part of it, I do like.

Awesome! Here in KY, they passed a state law years ago making consumer fireworks legal, however, local govt's can still say yes or no. Boone Co of course said No. But around the 4th, no one is going to stop you unless someone gets hurt or property damage occurs, etc.

This is huge news for Ohio and the retail stores in and around the state! An industry insider told me recently that Gov. DeWine wouldn't sign it, but due to the overwhelming majority passage in the house, he won't even have to for it to become law. We will see how it goes!

Hopefully this is just the first step in rationalizing some of the fireworks laws in the state. On the professional side, I'd like to see them lift the moratorium on magazines for storage, currently no new magazines are permitted. On the retail side, it would be nice to be able to have more store fronts.

I may just be dreaming though!

Great news for the buckeye pyro's out there indeed! Keep us informed. Even though I am in KY, I'm still interested in hearing about this.

Hope everybody had a safe and awesome show! Same goes if anyone else is doing theirs tonight. Hey Fitz... I think I am going to contact you in the off season. See if we can make a deal on a bunch of Excalibur shells. :thumbsup:

Sorry Angela! That was one we don't carry, but I will look into it for next year for sure. If I can get the factory code for it, I'll be able to see every wrap it has and see if we can order it in from somewhere!

On another note, yesterday was travel, today was set-up for the City of Paducah's fireworks! 5 firing positions, shells ranging from 3"-6"! Time to paint the sky tonight!

Everyone be safe celebrating! Enjoy the fireworks!

Awesome! I don't think Phantom is going to carry them anymore and I had some leftover from last year. Those shells simply go higher up then the other ones I had this year. Those are a must have!

A little 1.4 & 1.3 private party show tonight. Squeezed it in just before the heavens opened, which worked out! Got our cakes cooled down real quick post show!

Now we finally get a couple days off, then back at it for more pyro fun!

Working on a "little" show for the Labor Day weekend in Pennsylvania. For your pyro pleasure I have some pictures! I'll try to get some more as the weekend rolls on!

Dealt with some light sprinkles most of the day yesterday, but aside from a touch of smoke, the show was awesome! Only had a chance to grab a couple more photos due to working on waterproofing and quadruple checking said waterproofing. So here you go! Second one is a bit tough to see since it was getting dark, but it shows the fountain garden we were shooting inside of. It rivals the Bellagio, no joke! An incredible show!!!

Pyro Season 2022 is upon us guys with Memorial Day Weekend coming up! With the inflation issues and supply chain issues... fireworks prices are going up. Hopefully all can score some good deals this year. Even I will be exploring other avenues for my party this year. :) Got to try and find some good deals here.

Queen City Fireworks is stocked and ready! On our Pro side, we have more shows than ever!

Oh! Angela! I found your Unicorn fountain and should have it soon! I ordered 3 cases of them! I'll let you know when we get it!

Looking forward to another successful, pyro packed year!
