Carnival's Grand Finale...Explosive

Each year Carnival’s grand finale erupts high above St. Thomas Harbor in a dazzling fireworks display rivaling the best of the Fourth of July.
This year’s show at 9 p.m. Saturday honoring President Barack Obama will carry on that tradition, says promoter Steve Bornn of Left-Lane Productions, who let the Source take a sneak peek at the preparations for this year’s display. "It’s funny because a lot of people think we just come up here and strike a match. But there’s a lot more to it," Bornn said.
On Thursday afternoon he checked in on the crew from the famous Grucci Family of New York as they rigged hundreds of tubes on flatbed trailers with Chinese-made shells for the 24-minute show.
