We would like to thank a lot of people who once again helped make our fireworks business successful this year.
Our groups:
Mother Teresa Catholic Church youth group for their 21st year of operating our stand at 4545 NW Topeka Blvd.
Seaman High School Band for their 25th year over all, 11th for our business at the Hunter's Ridge location in North Topeka.
St. Aloysius Catholic Church Knights of Columbus operating a stand in Meriden for the 35th year, 29 years for our business.
Hayden High School Football team for their muscles and endurance for erecting our tents and also for taking them down afterwards. And, they set up all of our tables, lights, etc so our groups could come in the next day and set up for business.
Our stand managers who did a lot! MTCC - Nancy Ruoff, Seaman Band, Scott Smith, and Knights, Sam Stallbaumer.
Our night security personnel and others who spent many over nights at the stand.
Our truck delivery person who moved our semi trailers to and from the sites.
Phil Korb and John McNary, my two right hand guys that assisted in the set up and take down.
ALL of the spouses and family/friends of these groups who showed up and assisted countless hours in operating the stands. Some brought meals for those working as well.
My spouse, Brenda and our son Matthew who spent countless hours during the week assisting. And our daughter Jennifer who assisted in other ways this year.
Our fantastic wholesalers that provide the best fireworks a person can buy.
And last but not least, our fantastic customers, family, friends, neighbors, anyone I may have missed who come every year and purchase their fireworks from our groups or assist in other ways.
Thank you to EVERYONE!!!! We hope you all had a safe and enjoyable 4th of July and celebrating our country’s 250th birthday!
