39 days till opening day................................

Boy it really sneaks up on you!! We all still need to be praying for rain!! Most all of the state got a good bit of rain last week but it was hardly enough to effect this drought we are stuck in. We need more and it looks like most of the state has good chances toward the end of the week and weekend.

The new stuff is coming in daily. Please if you have not already placed your order do so soon as we are getting close to selling out of a couple items! Remember if you are not sure about your area and the drought situation still place your order and we can always adjust it before you ship or pick it up.

I have hired a new receptionist for the season and today is her first day. Her name is Heather and although she has not been in the business before she is a quick learner and I am confident that she will soon be able to help you with your questions. She will also head up the permit department so we need y'all to contact her and give her the info on which permits you are going to need.

As always if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to give me a ring or send me an email.

I want to thank everyone who made it out to the Nebraska Shoot off on Saturday. It was a cold and windy day but your dedication to the fireworks industry really showed. I have heard nothing but good things, so thank you! I just want to re-itterate what I said Saturday night...the new items are a hit and miss thing right now. It looks like we will receiving some of the new items mid to late June. The items that we shot that night I have in inventory as of right now.
Remember you can put your order in over the web but only do it once and if you have any correcetions or add-ons please email or fax it to me.

Again, thank you to everyone who made it out on Saturday and made the shoot off a success! I hope you all have a great season.

Well Folks most the State has got a least a little rain in the last couple days and as I type this storms are moving through Houston. Remember go to http://sslarcims.tame.edu/website/kbdi/viewer.htm to check what you local drought index is. they update this map every evening to reflect the days rain.
Despite the rain here in Athens we are still under a burn ban and the county fire marshal asked that we not have our demo. In respect for the fire marshals office we are going to wait till next year to have a demo. Hopefully the rain will continue falling in the coming weeks and we will all have a great season.
I am taking a bunch of orders everyday. I recommend that even if you are not sure what the season will bring that you place your order as if it will be a great one. I f it dries out later and you need to change your order we would gladly make any changes that you might want. If you do not place your order you run the risk of some of the items that you want being sold out.
I am looking forward to a great season and as always if you need anything or have any questions please do not hesitate to give me a call or drop me an email.

Well May is here and another fireworks season is just around the corner. North Texas received a good deal of rain the last week. In looking at the KBDI drought index for Texas it looks like a line from Gainesville to Mineral Wells and on to Hillsboro and East to the Louisiana line all look good. The rest of the State desperately needs rain. To check the KBDI Drought index in your area you can go to http://sslarcims.tamu.edu/website/kbdi/viewer.htm I have had a lot of phone calls from concerned customers wondering what to do. They want to wait to take their product until they know if they have rain. I totally agree however I would recommend placing your order like it is going to be a great year now but scheduling a delivery date that is closer to the season. By placing your order now you are virtually guaranteeing that you will get the product you want. If it turns out that we do not get rain before the season you can always adjust your order or even cancel it before the season starts. There are still 51 days till opening day so there is a lot of time for rain, we just need to pray for it!

As always please email or call if there is anything I can help you with.
