The show’s licensed pyrotechnician, Sigrid Dahlberg, wants to assure Juneau that the show will go on the night of July 3. Dahlberg has worked with other volunteers for the last 20 years or so putting together the professional show. Through her day job as an environmental engineer, she knew all kinds of projects were being delayed by as much as a year because of pandemic-related supply chain issues. Her fireworks supplier was also affected.They even considered delaying the show until Labor Day.
This year’s shipment arrived in Juneau last Friday. That gave Dahlberg’s team only nine days to prepare. Normally, they’d have three more weeks.
