Ok...the fireworks tent story! The first week of set up was brutal, 98 degrees, heat rash and 14-18 hour days. Still exciting and a HUGE learning curve. Land rental, tent lacing, tax ids, zoning, building permits, fire inspections, marketing, etc! Even the threat of tent shut down 30 minutes before opening! But the slooowww sales and even worse weather, flooded tent, drainage ditch dug, no sales and shut down with open ditch...end of week two very, very unhappy owners. Last week no one but owners worked...sad for me because I had hope to make enough money for a Hawaii ticket, but I suppose it all worked out for the best, because I would have missed out on, soccer pool party, two lake house trips, the parade and concert and fireworks at the arch, family boating trip, sehy's baptism, seeing Alan and Chandra, etc! Ill get to Hawaii eventually, really miss seeing Amy and her boys! I could write a book about a fireworks tent! There is money to be had, just more work than you think and not millions, but for three weeks of work could be worth it! So glad I did it, I have files full of notes and am sure i'll be telling fireworks tent stories for years!
