The show never had an official start date ... it had an evolution. It all began when we started building Innsbrook in 1971. As most of you know, all of our utilities are buried, and in the beginning we did all of the work ourselves with the help of many, many cases of dynamite to get through the rock. Since the world was more secure in those days, we had all this extra dynamite around and we began to use the stuff as fireworks on special occasions (we defined a “special occasion” as anytime we wanted to play with dynamite). As I recall, one Fourth of July we had bought a bunch of fireworks at the local stand and we went up to Lake Lucern dam to set them off. As an afterthought, we took along a couple of sticks of dynamite for the finale. Our “crowd” of probably 25 aficionados thought the whole thing worthwhile and fun … and that was the beginning of what is now our signature event of the year. We haven’t used dynamite in the show in more than 20 years, and although I miss the extra “kick” of the cannon shots in the 1812 Overture, I don’t miss the blistering headaches we all got from handling the stuff. (The nitroglycerine in dynamite gets on your skin and then into the bloodstream where it dilates your blood vessels causing one awful headache.) We have gone from a do-it-yourself show to a full “blown” production with a budget not equaled for a private show in the state, and come to think of it, not equaled by any public show in this region also. This show would not be possible without your support, as it is 100 percent financed by donations, advertisements and contributions of time, materials and goods. This show is symbolic of the “can do” Innsbrook community spirit … of which we are all proud to be a part. Enjoy the show!
