Second Lake-area fireworks show involving AM Pyrotechnics canceled

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A second fireworks show this weekend involving a company from Buffalo, Missouri, has been canceled.

Lake Valley Golf Club in Camdenton wrote on its Facebook page on Wednesday afternoon that AM Pyrotechnics told the club “us they are unable to fulfill their obligation to provide this year’s display. With only days remaining before July 4, and with the display already prepaid, Lake Valley is unfortunately unable to secure another fireworks show in time.”

The display and “related festivities” have been canceled.

“This is deeply disappointing for all of us. Lake Valley’s fireworks have been a long-standing community tradition, bringing together members, families, neighbors, and friends from across the Lake area,” the post reads. “Each year, hundreds gather in the parking lot, along the course, and throughout the surrounding area to enjoy an evening that has always been about more than fireworks — it has been about community.”

The golf tournament will still be held, but no other Fourth of July activities will occur.

The City of Osage Beach announced on Tuesday that it would delay its Independence Day celebration to July 11 after AM Pyrotechnics “stopped communicating despite multiple efforts to reach them by phone, email, and text.”

The company allegedly told the city on Tuesday it was not able to “execute the display.”

KY3 reported on Monday that a Fourth of July fireworks show in Mountain Home, Arkansas, was affected after the same company stopped communicating with Mountain Home’s chamber of commerce.
