I've done the Mont Alto carnival fireworks for the last 3 years.  The crew that helps me on this shoot work so well together. With out them it wouldn't happen. Mont Alto fire company puts this carnival on and is one of the best in the area. On fireworks night all you see looking out across the valley is rows of vehicals headlights and taillights on every road. This event is usually just before 4th of July. The location is on RT997 5.8 miles south of RT 30.

My Father, Whitey and ED aligning the finale

Joel Oyler wiring the fan racks and multi shot cakes

Mortar tubes being set up in sections for each person lighting the fireworks

Whitey and my father finish loading 6" shells in the station where Tom will fire from.

Bobby making sure shells are completely on the bottom of the finale mortars, if there were not they would break very low.

Here's Tom,  a good friend that I met at Gettysburg.
Tom came up with the idea for the flickering effect in the tree line behind the show . Pretty awsome effect!  
Tom also set off the 8" and 10" shells by remote.

All these guys and many more have help with my shows behind my place and the Fayetteville Carnival.
Again, without them it couldn't have happened.
