2015 is Fast Approaching…

Greetings Skyrockers Members and Fans,

Hard to believe how fast we made it here, so we wanted to give you a quick update on what we have going on leading up to 2015!

First off, registration is open for the nightly shots during the month of December to count down to the New Year. Take a look at our calendar to check for open dates – we typically can have multiple groups a night, and we do multiple shots per group! If interested, please send an e-mail to showdirector@skyrockers.org so that we can get you on the calendar. Suggested donation is $25 per shot, with the proceeds going towards putting on the New Year’s show.  Don’t worry, if you do not see your appointment on the calendar yet, we just may have been too busy stuffing mortars to add it right away!  (wink, wink.)

Next, we would also like to mention our Open House! The fourth annual “Stuff the Mortars!” family open house and fundraiser will be held on Saturday, December 6th from 1pm to 4pm at Myrick Park in La Crosse. We will have displays available to educate anyone interested on how fireworks “work,” refreshments, and even some demonstrations allowing people to have a chance to push the plunger and set off some pyrotechnics. If that is not enough to light your fuse, we will also have a chance for anyone who attends to sign up to win a nightly shot up on the bluff! For more information, feel free to contact us either in the comments on this post (below), or drop us an e-mail at prdirector@skyrockers.org

Looking to get your fireworks fix a little sooner? We will also be making appearances at the Rotary Lights opening the day after Thanksgiving for their 20th anniversary!

Thanks for reading, and we hope to see you soon!

Happy 4th of July in 2014!

The Skyrockers want to extend a happy 4th of July and thank everyone who attended our fireworks display both in person and on-line – WXOW Channel 19 was gracious enough to not only live-stream the event but also record our show for posterity, which you can find below!

We have also updated the “In the News” section of our web site to reflect helpful safety tips from this 4th of July season, as well as additional coverage we received. A big thank you to Kwik Trip for being this year’s sponsor of the 4th of July show!

Also, be sure to keep an eye on our gallery, as a compilation of photos from both the show itself and the preparation will be coming soon.

Thanks for reading, and we look forward to our future shows!
