Thousands of guests will be flocking to the Peanut Festival fairgrounds this weekend to see the rocket’s red glare for the annual Fireworks at the Fairgrounds event.
“The event actually starts being prepared in February of each year,” Jason Rudd, the Fireworks at the Fairgrounds Coordinator, said.
“We got a huge wreaker that’s going to come out and it’s going to have a big flag on it, we got a huge bucket truck that has a flag on it, but we went a step further,” Rudd said. “We went to our friends over there at Solomon Chevrolet and they donated one of their older flags that we are going to hoist on a hundred-foot crane.”“It costs a thousand dollars a minute to shoot the fireworks we are going to be shooting off this Saturday night,” Rudd explained.
“We shoot up to an 8-inch shell,” Rudd said. “It’s a ground ball with a fuse on it and you have to be certified to do that.”
