Assist pyrotechnicians with moving racks from storage yard to Lower Harbor to the tip of the Ore Dock and back via barge.
Work includes loading a truck with racks and tubes from the storage yard in Skandia (transportation from Lower Harbor provided ) on July 1 from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m.
The big set up day includes unloading the truck, as well as assisting the US Coast Guard and Great Lakes Fireworks pyrotechnicians with transporting the racks and explosives out to the end of the Ore Dock via a barge.
On July 5 (July 6 if we have to delay the show a day for rain) the wiring at the Ore Dock is disposed of, the racks are loaded back on to the barge and returned to the storage yard. This is done from 8 a.m. - 1 p.m.
This volunteer opportunity is very physical and requires lifting 30+ pound equipment repetitively for the duration of the shift.
