National Anthem sung at the MT Airy Fireworks by Stephanie from Southland Band
Best weather EVER for tonight’s fireworks!!! Check it out!
Thanks to everyone that came out and endured the off and on rain! Sometimes quite heavy!! In spite of the rain a good time was had, and in the end, the fireworks were delayed by only 45 mins. With the fact that we are in a field and there are SO many people on the network it’s hard to get posts through, and there is a LOT of coordination on the ground. We do not make these decisions at all, the Fire Marshall does. We don’t decide when they can go off after the delay either, the Fire Marshall does. We also wait for updates. All of these reasons are why we tried to make as much prior notice that they would go off even with a delay Could we have done better? yes. Next year we’ll have someone exclusively dedicated just to social media updates as we go. Preferably off site so as not to be constricted by the limited cell service. That way the coordination can happen with the experts, and social stuff can have its own dedicated person who does nothing but be on the page here. We care greatly about the kids, and we hear you parents…we understand that waiting can feel like an eternity to them. Our goal would be to try and give more updates that can at least let you give them hope that they’re in their way soon. The show went off as soon as it was safe, with a minimal delay considering the rain we had. It was delightful, and so many people were still able to stick it out and enjoy the fireworks either in the grounds or in their car. We truly appreciate our small town and appreciate your understanding that in the end we’re all human doing human things and trying our best.
Scouts are here and getting ready to do the FREE face painting for the kids. We also have free glow necklaces and flags while supplies last!!
The #1 most important delivery is here! FIREWORKS 💥! Check ‘em out .. we’re going to have a huge and amazing show!
THE #1 question I get is will we cancel for rain…NO. The fireworks will go on. Weather says passing storms. Nothing long all passing and all should be done by 7:00. Come out with a tent and enjoy the day and the show!!
