About this Exploration:

Wamego’s July 4th fireworks display is a long-standing tradition. Trained and licensed community pyrotechnic volunteers donate time and energy to plan, order, and shoot the show. This 12 to 15 member group, referred to as the Pyro Crew, routinely volunteers more than 500 hours of personal time to prepare for the annual display.
 
The show consists of more than 25,000 shells and delivers 30 minutes of sky-saturating, heart-pounding action. The show brings thousands of loyal visitors from near and far into the community each year to witness the spectacle that has become uniquely Wamego. Major funding for the show comes from a host of grassroots business and individual sponsors. The financial generosity of the community allows this fireworks display to maintain its high-quality standards and remain the crown jewel of Wamego’s annual Independence Day Celebration.
