Inflatables
Bounce House plus a new Jousting arena and obsticle course this year!
Games
Some weather dependant, but there may be a keg toss, ping pong and cornhole available
Bubbles
Master bubbler, big and small bubbles for all to enjoy.
Drone Shootout
Time permitting, we will re-create the drone shootout. Roman candles are shot at a flying done in an attempt to disable it. Please note Roman candles fall under 1.4g explosive regulations and must follow all legal guidlines.
What if it rains!?
The show will go on! This may cause a bump or dely in show time, but we have a very robust firing system. (in past years light rain still did not affect the show) That being said... water does not mix with fireworks, its possible the system even with preventative measures will have ignition issues and we will not have a full fireworks show in the rain. We do have a contingency plan to manually light a large reserve of dry fireworks :-)
A wet bounce house is dangerous, but it will still be turned on, user descretion advised.
We will put forth every effort to keep the fun going, but we make no promises, it entirely depends on the intensity and timing of any inclement weather.
