Skyrockers Fall Update

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 2014!

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.

Next, we would also like to mention our Open House! The third annual “Stuff the Mortars!” family open house and fundraiser will be held on Saturday, December 7th 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, and at the 3rd Annual Lights Over North La Crosse on Saturday after Thanksgiving as well!

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

We’re preparing for Tomorrow! Are you?

One of the things that is very important for creating a quality show is a good plan.

The same goes for all of you Skyrockers fans!  If you are going to be spending your 4th of July outdoors, be sure to bring some sunscreen along; the weather looks like we will be expecting nothing but sunshine for the day while we are out there setting up and Riverfest is going on.

Other items that can be handy include bug repellant, blankets for the ground, folding chairs, water to stay hydrated, and umbrellas to provide additional shade during the day.

If you are going to be watching our show, brought to you by the La Crosse Jaycees, feel free to send us a picture of your pre-show camp-out at prdirector@skyrockers.org for a chance of being featured on our page!  We hope you enjoy the show, and have a happy, safe 4th of July.

The Ground May be a Little Damp…

But that just means the fire danger is low!  Just thought we would share some pictures of us digging in mortars the night before the Onalaska Salute to the 4th, compliments of our very own Safety Director, Matt!

It sure started out beautiful…
