July 4th - $25,000 / 3years.
We believe this option benefits both the Client and the Contractor. A three-year base contract
with option years allows us to plan our product demand in advance, secure the best inventory
when prices are lowest, and store it safely. This protects your event from sudden cost spikes
caused by tariffs and keeps your rate steady for the full contract period.
Duration: 20 Minutes
Shell Calibers: 2.5”, 3”, 4” and 5” and Multishot Cakes.
All of our operating cost are accounted for in this estimate. (Hotels, Travel, Storage, Insurance)
Fire Services are typically provided free of charge by governments for their own events. If this is
not the case, we can absorb this cost within reason.
Our company use electronic firing systems, and preplans our shows. This show would use
multiple angels, to ensure that all spectators have a good viewpoint of the show.
