Exciting time!
I have been presented to opportunity to help shoot a huge Pittsburgh rooftop and barge display with Starfire Corporation along with a few other displays on the east coast from now until the 4th; so I may not be home for awhile… this will give me some great ideas and experience for our own shows in the future.
Those that so graciously donated some funds for our 2026 Roy Lake display can either provide a refund our apply to next years Roy Lake display??
Thx and hopefully see you this summer!

Okay everyone, I'd like your input. As you may know, Dakota Pier LLC is becoming more active in the lakefront living business again, and my goal is two-fold:
1. Solve problems that we all face with waterfront living, including cabins, docks, lifts, water toys, accessories, service, hot tubs, mowing, shore maintenance, etc. 2. Develop a profitable and sustainable business that I can pass on to someone who wants to get into the business but currently lacks the ability for whatever reason. I want this a long term solution.
What are the things you feel need to be addressed regarding waterfront living? This is an open dialogue to vent frustrations, make suggestions, and share ideas. If you don't wish to share your thoughts on social media, feel free to email ([email protected]) or DM me. Please share this to broaden the feedback.

Well, I missed it on Sunday but it is never too late to say Happy women's day ! Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience and grace of women everywhere. May you continue to inspire lead and shine in everything you do. Your contributions made the world a better place. I wish you a day filled with appreciation, joy, and empowerment!
I am surrounded by strong and intelligent women in my family and a lot of my friendships, and there is much I would struggle doing if it weren’t for them!
Carry on you freaking amazing rays of sunshine and occasional tornadoes!

Thank you for all of the positive comments about the Roy Lake Fireworks show!
I could not, well…I would not do it without the family and friends that graciously donated their time and/or funds towards the fireworks show!!!
This show takes countless hours to plan, install and clean up. The trailers, pontoons, mortar racks and firing equipment had to be purchased and there are several thousand worth of fireworks purchased every year.
If you enjoy the fireworks show and want to donate to this years or future shows, donations can be given directly to Brad or Paula Heitmann.
The more you give, the more can be ordered for next year's show. The order is placed in the fall in order to obtain the best discount, which always goes toward more products for the show, so donate now while the beauty and excitement is still fresh in your mind!
I also would like to hear your favorites as we do this show for everyone’s enjoyment!
Thank you again, for the kind words!

Still a little to do for fireworks tomorrow but we have battened down the hatches on the 4 pontoons and used the sails for tarp covers😂 to prepare for bad weather…
We are really excited and expecting a good show tomorrow!!

We’re excited to announce that it’s that time of year again.
Our wonderful country provides us the ability to enjoy freedom, family, fun, and fireworks. Although last year’s thunderstorms caused a delay, we persevered.
Dakota Pier, llc / Ooh Aah Pyro, along with some gracious family and neighbors, are hosting a fireworks display over Roy Lake on Friday, July 4th at dusk.
The rain date is scheduled for the following evening.
This year’s display will feature some new effects, making it a unique experience.
