CLA - Crystal Lake Association Since 1932

Tuesday July 4th, 2012
Fireworks will be held after dark at 10:30pm.
Note that the fireworks is always planned for the 4th regardless of weekend dates to eliminate questioning which day it is held.

After many years of finding a suitable site for the increasing limits on pyrotechnics. The Crystal Lake Association has purchased several pontoon platforms that together will be one large floating barge. This large barge will be located in the center of the lake to launch the fireworks. Our CLA funded Police Patrol boats keeps the boaters at a safe distance. In 2011 to improve the safety and operation the CLA barges received all new brackets that hold them together during the launch. Two of the barges received new decks. The CLA purchased two new anchors, chain, rope and two new tow ropes. Very special thanks to Mark and Ronda Bruskotter of Paddleking Inc. for doing all of this work at cost. Our shooters were very happy with the improved operation.

Some of the reasons for a barge purchase... not having to close roads, being within house limit zones, viewable from anywhere around the lake - not a bad seat in the house.

The fireworks are paid entirely with donations from people like you. All fireworks time and effort is donated by our members.
