Fireworks Video Clips Below are two FULL SIZE video clips showcasing a couple portions of 2009 year's 30 minute long fireworks. Each .wmv format video clip is a large (over 10mb) file, so a safe bet is to "Right click" and "Save as" to your hard drive. Clip #1 is a VERY unique oredock "waterfall" fireworks display. Clip #2 is the grand finale & the pyrotechs signature "bow to the crowd" Special Thanks to John Bichler, owner of Gallagher Marine Construction John graciously donated his crane and 90ft x 40ft barge along with dozens of hours of his own time so that this year's fireworks could be even more spectacular than ever.
