I also want to give a HUGE shoutout to the guys who ‘work behind the scenes’ without any recognition! THEY are the ones that truly make this possible every single year! Thank you to Matt Kraner and Adam Haessig for making the show once again as amazing as ever. They work their tushies off making sure every firework is hooked up, taped, put on the board and taken out to the field in the exhausting heat so that we have a great show to watch as they get to sit back, push the buttons and enjoy the show themselves! Your hard work and dedication DOES NOT go unnoticed. THANK YOU!
Thank you once again to Matt for always being here to help check in the shipments and helping Bill stock the shelves, get totes ready and just simply helping wherever he is needed. Thank you to my amazing husband, Bill Eckhoff, who works late into the evenings to make sure the stand is ready to open on time and for tirelessly getting up every morning to have the stand open by 9 am until midnight for 9 days in a row!
Shout out to Jenn Haessig, Geoff Byrd, Rod Nelson, Jody Myren, Chad Myren and of course Riley Myren who surprised us this year coming back to SD! Also, thank you to Bill’s boys, Kaden Eckhoff and Karsen Eckhoff for running the register every year.
Thank you to the Colton Fire Department for coming out to make sure we are in good hands in case a fire would break out!
We appreciate each and every one of you for all your hard work and dedication each and every year! Without all of you, Butch’s wouldn’t be where it is today! If I have missed tagging anyone, please tag them for me! It was not intentional!
And last but not least, like Matt said, THANK YOU to all you wonderful customers that we get to see each and every year! You help Butch’s become the success that it is today!
Thank you to all of our great wonderful customers. We hope all of you had a great 4th of July celebrating the 250th.
