 Well, after six full days of activities, the Bemidji JCs wrapped up their water carnival last night with the red, white, and boom fireworks display. Our Josh Peterson shows us what changes were made to this year's display. After six days of celebrating, the Bemidji JCs water carnival concluded with the red, white, and boom fireworks spectacular. Last year the JCs made the move to fire the show off a large barge, but after input from the public and plenty of research, the JCs made some big changes to this year's show. After all the public comments that we received last year and feedback, we took that all to heart and we made some different things that we did. We talked to the company about the concussions, what we could do to make the show better. This year the JCs went with a new company out of Egan, Minnesota. Hollywood pyrotechnics says there is a science to firing a show from the water. So when you're on a barge, all of that force is transferred down into the barge and into the water. And in addition, when the shell bursts in the air, the sound, the pressure waves from the sound push down on the water, so it's a very different sound experience. Hills Plumbing and Heating became the title sponsor of the fireworks display, which provided the JCs with an opportunity to invest more in the show. Hills Plumbing and Heating donated $3,000 to the show so that we could make it bigger and better this year and we got more boom for the buck. Through all the fundraising efforts, the Bemidji JCs were able to purchase fireworks that worked better on the water and have special effects. We have a special type of cake called water cakes, which will shoot shells into the water and have different effects happen from underneath the water. With lots of booms and crackles, the JCs feel that this year's show was a booming success. In Bemidji, Josh Peterson, Lakeland News. This year's display cost the JCs $16,500, which was all raised through scholarships and donations.
