Alright, let’s talk about them firework folks, the union fireworks performers, you know? Them fellas who make the sky go boom-boom.
I seen a thing or two in my days, and I tell ya, fireworks ain’t just somethin’ you light up and whoosh. It takes work, real work. These union fellas, they ain’t just playin’ around. They gotta plan it all out, you see? Like, where the big ones go, where the little ones go, how to make it all pretty and stuff.
I heard tell they got this thing called a “finale.” That’s when they shoot off a whole bunch at once, real fast. Boom-boom-boom! Makes your heart jump, it does. But them union folks, they know what they doin’. They gotta make sure it’s safe, too. Don’t want no firework landin’ on somebody’s roof, ya know?
And it ain’t just the Fourth of July, neither. They do fireworks all sorts of times. I heard they had some big shindig in Albany, a “Festival of Light” they called it. Had music and food and all sorts of carryin’ on. And of course, fireworks. Them union fellas were there, makin’ it all sparkle.
Then there’s this place called Union, yeah, real original name, huh? They had their own fireworks show, a big one. Said it was the most folks they ever had. Bet them union boys were busy that night! They had a concert before, too. Music and then boom-boom in the sky. Sounds like a good time, if you ask me.
- They gotta set up all them fireworks, big ones and small ones.
- They gotta make sure it’s safe, so nothin’ catches fire.
- They gotta time it all just right, so the boom-booms happen when they supposed to.
- And they gotta clean up after, too. Can’t just leave a mess everywhere.
I reckon it ain’t easy work. You gotta be strong, gotta be smart, and gotta be brave. I mean, you’re playin’ with fire, after all! But them union fireworks performers, they do it good. They make the sky light up and make folks happy. And that’s somethin’ special, I reckon.
And it ain’t just about the big shows, you know? Sometimes they do little ones, too. For a town fair, or a weddin’, or even just a birthday party. Big or small, them union fellas, they make it sparkle.
I remember one time, they had a show down by the river. Oh, it was somethin’ else. The fireworks reflectin’ on the water, all shimmery and bright. And the boom-booms echo in’ off the trees. It was like magic, it was. And I knew, right then and there, that them union fireworks performers, they were somethin’ special.
They work hard, them fellas. They train, they practice, they plan. And they do it all for us, so we can look up at the sky and say, “Ooh!” and “Ahh!” So next time you see fireworks, you remember them union folks. They the ones makin’ the magic happen.
And it ain’t cheap, you know. Them fireworks cost money, and the union fellas, they gotta get paid. But it’s worth it, I reckon. For a little bit of sparkle, a little bit of boom-boom, a little bit of magic in the night sky. It makes you feel good, it does. Makes you feel like a kid again.
So here’s to the union fireworks performers. May they keep makin’ the sky sparkle for years to come.
