BEND, Ore. (KTVZ)-- The colorful, bombastic Pilot Butte Fireworks Show is just a day away, and Sureshot Blasting and Fireworks says it's excited, as always, for this year's show.
It's also the second year the show will be run by Gary Mattison's son after his passing.
We spoke with them before the 2023 fireworks display last year to learn how much the show means to the family.
Isabella Warren is getting a behind-the-scenes look at the setup Wednesday for a report tonight on NewsChannel 21 at Five.
