Thank You For Supporting our Fireworks Show
by Jenny Chissus
Thank you for supporting the Fireworks show for Seldovia’s New Year’s Eve Celebration!
The Swicks won’t be leaving for a few more days on their shopping trip to purchase all the fireworks up past Anchorage – so, if you still would like to support this community tradition, it is not too late! Please contact Alvin or Roberta Swick directly at 907-234-7473 to add to the fund! You may also mail a check to the Swicks at PO Box 112, Seldovia, Alaska 99663.
Thanks to the Swicks for continuing to make this event a possibility! Our job of sending a check their way is the easy part. The Swicks and the Giles have always handled the “legwork” of the celebration: the trip to purchase the fireworks, setting up the fireworks so that there is a constant and beautiful display for the whole community to enjoy, as well as the extensive clean up after the event into the early hours of the new year!! This year, Doug and Kathy are up in Anchorage – and will be sorely missed!
Thanks to all of the individuals and families that make this celebration possible and an awesome family memory for many Seldovians!
Thank you!
Help Fund the Fabulous Fireworks Celebration to bring in 2013!

Thank you to the many folks who sponsor our annual New Year’s Eve Fireworks Show! Every year it is a time when the whole community gathers to bring in the new year together, as friends and family.
The Swicks are leaving the day after Christmas to purchase the fireworks up in Anchorage and are hopeful to have the continued support of the community to make it happen! This is often a show that lasts over 20 minutes, and costs a pretty penny! However, if a lot of folks give a little – we can reach the goal. Typically, the Swicks spend $3,500 to $4,000 to create a spectacular show – and every bit helps!
Enjoy the reminder below of the display we had last year – and a glimpse of the spectacular event we have to look forward to – bringing in 2013!
Please support this great Seldovia tradition, and give a call to Roberta and Alvin Swick 234-7473 before December 26th, 2012! It is not too late!
Please make sure to catch up with them before they leave on the 26th, as whatever funds they have at that time will be the only budget they will spend for the event. Thank You so much for being a part of this great celebration!
We’ll see you at the Fireworks Show on December 31st – midnight!
Bringing in 2012 – Seldovia Style!

Once again, the Swick and Giles families put together an AMAZING fireworks display for the lucky Seldovians who had the enthusiasm and energy to meet at the small plane airstrip Saturday at midnight to ring in the New Year. Continue Reading

Thank you to the many folks who sponsor our annual New Year’s Eve Fireworks Show! Every year it is a time when the whole community gathers to bring in the new year together, as friends and family.
The Swicks are leaving this week to purchase the fireworks up in Anchorage and are hopeful to have the continued support of the community to make it happen! Last year, they spent over $3,500 on a spectacular 20+ minute fireworks show for the community. Last time I heard from Roberta, they had only raised $400.
Please support this great Seldovia tradition, and give a call to Roberta and Alvin Swick 234-7473 or Doug and Kathy Giles at 234-7424. It is not too late! Thank You!
We’ll see you at the Fireworks Show on December 31st – midnight!
