As another Independence Day season comes to a close, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you!
Running Black Powder Pyro has never been just about putting on great displays or helping families celebrate. It's about the people who make it all possible.
To my right-hand man, DaTrell Watson —thank you for being there from the very beginning. Knowing you were on site running the crew gave me the confidence to move between shows, knowing everything was in good hands. That kind of trust isn't built overnight, and I'm incredibly grateful for everything you do.
Alex, your energy, positive attitude, and willingness to solve problems and jump in wherever needed never goes unnoticed. Every team needs someone who's ready to roll up their sleeves, and you've been exactly that.
To our newest crew members—Trevor, Mya, and Margie—thank you for diving into one of the busiest weeks of the year. You may not have known exactly what you were signing up for, but you embraced the challenge. Trevor, your enthusiasm and willingness to tackle any task made a huge difference. Mya and Margie, thank you for making every customer who visited our Hollywood stand feel welcome and appreciated.
To our returning customers—thank you for choosing us year after year, and even traveling out of your way to support a local business. Your loyalty means more than you know.
To our new customers—whether you're trusting us with your awards ceremony, like St. Paul's Playground youth baseball, or any other special event. We don't take that responsibility lightly.
A special thank you to our friends and partners who continue to support us. , it's always a pleasure working alongside you, and continues to be one of the Lowcountry's most beautiful places to celebrate. If you want to capture a special moment, there's no better place to do so!
And thank you to Brock at Cypress Roofing and Contracting for helping with logistics throughout the season. If you're looking for a dependable contractor, I highly recommend checking them out.
Finally, thank you to the Hollywood and Ravenel communities for welcoming and supporting us once again. Whether you stopped by the stand, shared one of our posts, recommended us to a friend, or simply cheered us on, you've helped make this another memorable season.
We're already looking ahead to the next celebration, but for now... thank you for making this one so special.
See you next season. 🇺🇸🎆
