| A picture of our American Flag all lanced and fused for display. This is larger than it looks as it stands 12 feet high and 24 feet long. Donated by Gavin Angerhofer of Milbank Lumber. |
Here are several piictures of the ordinances
before the fireworks show. The tin foil caps
help protect from any falling sparks or fire to
prevent early ignition. The Mountain Dew bottle
in the picture did not survive.

The first song was the theme song to Mission
Impossible, where we used 150 feet of quick fuse
strung on wire between posts to give the effect as
seen on the old Mission Impossible show.

| A big THANK YOU goes to Marlow Oltman for letting Milbank shoot the show on his farmland. This is by far the best shoot sight available anywhere. |
