With 4th of July right around the corner, it doesn’t hurt to have a refresher course on safety tips when it comes to fireworks. Jill Devine enjoys fireworks from afar, but a firework incident from her childhood has left her less than confident when it comes to handling fireworks.
Rob Cima is the VP of Missouri Pyrotechnics Association (MOpyro), a father of three and a huge proponent of fireworks safety. In addition to providing safety tips for adults, children and pets in this week’s episode, Rob also discussed an event coming up in September, Sky Wars! It’s the nation’s largest fireworks competition to feature top pyrotechnicians:
Sky Wars—from the creators of the original Pyromania—will hold its 16th annual invitational fireworks championship on Saturday, Sept. 25. Gates open at 2 p.m., and the fireworks show begins at 7:30 p.m. The event is in partnership with the developers of Innsbrook and will be held at The Village of Innsbrook Fireworks Field located at 13604 State Highway M in Wright City, MO. The more than two-hour long fireworks championship will feature invitation-only pyrotechnicians who are among the nation’s top fireworks choreographers. Up to 10 highly skilled teams will create award-winning pyromusicals—or “concerts in the sky”—which combine the artistry of music and pyrotechnics. Sky Wars will feature The Fireball Dudes, who hold a world record for their signature gasoline fireballs. A wide variety of food and beverages will be available for purchase. Sky Wars’ nonprofit partners include Concerned Citizens for Animal Care of Warren County and its “Raise the Woof” campaign plus a canned food drive at the show to benefit Operation Food Search and AGAPE. Tickets range from $30 to $40 per person for general admission and $145 to $160 for an all-inclusive VIP ticket. Children five and under are free. To purchase tickets or for further information, call (314) 730-0793 or visit Sky Wars website.

Jill would like to acknowledge and recognize the hard work moms put in on the daily. It can be a thankless job at times, and Jill wants these moms to know their worth, so she created the Supermom Shoutout, brought to you by Addy’s Way. Each recipient will receive a custom designed Supermom t-shirt from Addy’s Way, in addition to the Shoutout. This week’s Supermom Shoutout goes to Sue of Wentzville, MO. Her daughter, Cassie, nominated her and said:
My mom is amazing! She doesn’t have little kids or a career anymore, but she when she had a career, she was also taking care of 3 kids and she didn’t skip a beat. She babysat most of the neighborhood kids until they all started kindergarten. She is the person who taught me to be the wife and mother I have always wanted to be. She is my best friend. Plus, she’s been amazing this past year with my father’s illness, which unfortunately, led to him passing away recently. They were married for 50 years.
Sue - YOU are seen and YOU are supported!
