- Special Fireworks Finale
- I received a super special message earlier today from Ian Scheil, who put together a special treat for us to dance the last few hours of the night away to: a custom fireworks display! Ian created them himself using professional pyrotechnics software as he chases his dream of becoming a pyrotechnician. He’s had some setbacks along the way, but hasn’t given up! Ian says: “There’s just something so unifying about fireworks that brings everyone together. Humans have gathered around fire for generations to come together, share stories, share in the common bond of humanity. In that moment when fireworks light up the sky, they bring us all together regardless of background, ability, age, gender identity, sexuality, political affiliation, or other such identifiers. In that moment we are only human. 🙂”
