imadrummer2k: I'm almost embarrassed to say what our drink tab was.

UHTrey: Duh!  Lost dogs, anyone? 4951

BeSome1: Wow and who are you to demand anyone step down? Did you volunteer? How much did you pay to see the fireworks? Tony Austin does a lot for this community. It was a miscalculation. How about you pay for next years show and you do all the work. Oh and there better be no mistakes . Ridiculous. Btw Tony Austin we all still love you, well most of us anyway. 4951

UHTrey: You forgot the poor traumatized children ( both big and little). Can't forget them-welcome!!!Maybe we can push it to 17 pages 😜

@Jpgurl: Oh that is right. My kids we're writhing in pain from not seeing fireworks. Fact 4951

podunk: Cheers to that....I always wonder what would happen if you just made up a random number when they ask you for your account number. "Uh....R 3...8...27.....0! Yeah, that's it!"  4951

BeSome1: gues what kid? it is real business. none of us have the facts of the minute details or the chronology of the events. were they to do it over, knowing whatt hey know now, the show could have been fine with shells that explode at 500 or 600 feet instead of 300 feet. there is a price differential tho and the details were already set. no one chortled in their evil way 'and your little dog toto, too'.  tony austin had the guts to write  an explanation of the situation and apologize for that  situation. after 10 years of successful shows, no person actually running a business would fire a person for the situation caused by a new sponsor and a change in the launch site. you learn and move on. you did get your money back didnt you? 4951

MMMM....  something wrong with that picture IMO... 4951

Andreweggplant: Lol.. he's joking.. but some aren't.. they think their kids are traumatized for life.. 😂 4951

sweetie: mine was traumatized. Little **** was sitting there shaking & whimpering like a dog passing a peach pit. 4951

imadrummer2k: they'd figure it out at some point. 4951

podunk: You need to make them Cowboy up ..I hope it doesn't affect their education
lol 4951

Just got back, from going back...the fireworks display at KCC was totallyawesome...y'all shoulda been there 4951

@problemagainI agree that nobody should be reaching for any axes.  However, I disagree with you that this was somehow unavoidable or, frankly, even a surprise.The decision was made to do "the same show" (presumably meaning firing at roughly the same height) but move it 2-3x further away from the common public viewing points.  Simple trigonometry says that this will lower the angle at which the fireworks will explode to a watcher in the same spot.  I get that organizing an event like this is not done casually over dinner one night.  But I would appreciate it if we simply got the truth so that we can collectively have a conversation about what - if anything - we want to change next year.  As I've said in prior posts - there are solutions.  We will more quickly find one that works for most people if we are able to deal with the plain facts in front us.I don't know.  There are very real topics for discussion.  The guy's head should not roll for this.  Hell - Maybe I should get involved if I care so much... not that I'd have any idea how to go about doing that. 4951

sweetie: Deal with it was the approach used.
