New Year’s Eve Fireworks Show at New Time!
by Jenny Chissus
Does midnight sound too late to get bundled up, gather sleeping children and make your way to the airport for a New Year’s Eve Fireworks show?
Well, it has become an issue for a few folks, either those who are early to go to bed, or parents with small children, that midnight is a challenge – so, Alvin and the pyrotechnic team have decided to hold the event early! This year, after many many years of traditionally holding this event at midnight, we are going to ring in the New Year in Seldovia at 9pm at the Seldovia airport! When I spoke with Alvin tonight, he commented:
“Many have come to me over the past years, and again this year, saying that they would like us to consider holding the event earlier, so children can enjoy it and be a part of the celebration, as well as some adults who prefer to get to bed earlier. Also, this is better for those who like to party on New Year’s Eve, as they aren’t out drinking and driving around at midnight to go to the fireworks show. After the show, they can head back to their homes or the Linwood and continue their party. They pay for it, and I’m happy to give it a try this year. We will see how it goes.”
So, gather your family and friends and join us all out at the airport for a great fireworks display with the community of Seldovia at 9:00pm! Thanks again to Alvin and the Fireworks Team for planning, prepping and performing this great show for us each year!
Once again:

Fireworks Cancelled – Until Further Notice
by Jenny Chissus
Alvin just called to confirm that the fireworks celebration is cancelled for this evening, and until further notice. The weather is so poor, and unfortunately it doesn’t look like it is getting any better anytime soon. They have the fuses dried out, and is hopeful they will be fine, but another wet night would do them in for good!
Please help us pass the word on to folks that the fireworks show isn’t going to happen tonight – and check back here as we will let you know when it will be rescheduled, on a drier and calmer evening!

Due to Weather – Fireworks Show Rescheduled to January 1 at 8pm
by Jenny Chissus
Tonight, New Years Eve fireworks show started with hope in spite of the pounding rain and constant winds. Unfortunately, after only a few fireworks went off, it became quickly apparent that the pyrotechnicians were having trouble with the weather and getting the fireworks to take flight. After about 10 minutes, the team decided to call it quits.
I spoke with Alvin Swick, who wanted to let everyone know that he has all the fireworks at home and they are working on drying them out. It appears that the actual fireworks are all OK, but the fuses are too wet to maintain a light. Alvin is hopeful to have them all dry enough to set off by tomorrow.
Weather permitting, We will have our NEW YEAR’s DAY
Fireworks display tomorrow night!
January 1, 2013 at 8:00pm at the airport.
I will post any further updates as I receive them – hopefully, the weather will cooperate and we will all celebrate together tomorrow night!
