WITTENBERG — This time of year normally sees Jerry Bamke ramping up business at Fireworks Country, which he owns with wife Sally, and preparing for their annual Fireworks Extravaganza. Last year’s show brought 10,000 people to the event to eat, drink and be merry all day, then watch a spectacular fireworks show from the bleachers at night. With order sheets in hand, customers could mark off the fireworks displays they were interested in purchasing.
Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, this year’s 20th annual event fizzled before it even started.
