A huge THANK YOU to the volunteers who rolled up their sleeves for the day-after cleanup at the dunes — especially the students at Hart Pirates Athletic Boosters, the crew at Silver Lake Recreation Association, and the team at Silverback Offroad Rentals for donating 2 UTV`s to transport the clean up crews.
Fireworks would not be possible with out the assistance of Silver Lake State Park
Transportation of fireworks up to the dunes provided by 11 seasonal campers from Ohio at @Silver Lake Resort & Campground
There’s a lot of logistics (and cleanup) that goes into Thunder Over the Dunes… and none of it happens without all of these people donating their time. 🥰.
