Where will you celebrate the Fourth?

Wherever you are we hope you will be able to see the FIREWORKS!

Fireworks were associated with Independence Day celebrations even before the signing of the Declaration. The earliest settlers brought their love of fireworks to this country. Firings of black powder were used to celebrate holidays and to impress the natives. By the time of the American Revolution, fireworks had long played a part in celebrating important events.

John Adams wrote on July 3, 1776 to his wife, after the Continental Congress had decided to proclaim the American colonies independent of England,”The day will be most memorable in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival … It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade…bonfires and illuminations (fireworks) from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore.”

It was natural, then, that not only John Adams but also many of his countrymen should think of fireworks when independence was declared. The very first celebration of Independence Day was in 1777, six years before Americans knew whether the new nation would even survive the war, and fireworks were a part of the celebration.

233 Years later we are still celebrating!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA

Backdrops Fantastic suggests using one of our backdrops as a way to bring the fireworks to your event.

Happy 80th Birthday Clint Eastwood

Backdrops Fantastic — Mon, 31 May 2010 21:39:00 +0000

Clint Eastwood, an American icon turns 80 today. He is one of our favorite actors and continues to wow us with his talent and versatility.
Are you old enough to remember his role as the likeable Rowdy Yates on TV’s Rawhide? Then we saw him not as a likeable side kick but a tough no- nonsense cowboy in the spaghetti western, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Now a star, he was in demand and a huge draw at the box office. One of our favorite characters is the loose cannon cop, Dirty Harry. How many times have you watch those movies? They grab us everytime.

In 1992 he recieved critical acclaim with his western, Unforgiven, winning Oscars for best director and best Producer of the best picture while being nominated as best actor. Another highlight in his career was Milllion Dollar Baby in 2004 which earned the Academy Award for best picture and brought him nominations as best actor and best director.

Then in 2008 he blew us away with Gran Torino . At 80 he has said he is not retiring and we couldn’t be happier. We can’t wait to see what he does next.

Celebrate his birthday tonight. Put one of his many movies in the DVD, enjoy some popcorn and give a toast to the man who has entertained us for over 50 years.

Happy Birthday Clint from your fans at Backdrops Fantastic!

Memorial Day: Remembering

Backdrops Fantastic — Thu, 27 May 2010 18:53:00 +0000

Stars & Stripes one of the many patriotic backdrops produced by Backdrops Fantastic.

Memorial Day, which falls on the last Monday of May, commemorates the men and women who died while serving in the American military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, at least, it marks the beginning of summer.

In this day and age we often forget the historical meaning of memorial day. Memorial Day history is about honoring those who have died in service to our nation. It is about remembering the courage and strength about those who gave their lives.

The staff at Backdrops Fantastic wants to take this time to pay tribute to all the men and women who have given their lives in service to our country. We want to encourage you to stop sometime over the weekend to show your appreciation to those who have died and to those who are serving.
