    I want to attend bc it will be my boyfriend and I’s first fireworks together and we’ve been together for two years!!!! He works weekends and we never get a chance to do things like this!!!!!!!! The free vodka and cash bar selection doesn’t sound bad either!!!!

    I want to attend because I’ve never been before! I’m relatively new to Columbus and I didn’t have the chance to go last year. I love fireworks and I love free vodka. Also, I wouldn’t go to RWB otherwise…no way I’m dealing with those crowds/traffic!

    I want to attend bc we live right down the street and are anxious to check out the new park. Besides, sounds like a great time.

    I’d love to attend and try something new and see what drink up cbus is about.

    Life is way too short to drink cheap beer. Therefore, I would love to enjoy a pint (or 2 or 3) of CBC while watching the best firework extravaganza in central Ohio. And what better way to do it than to share with the folks from Drink Up Columbus.

    I would LOVE to go!!! It’s our first summer in Cbus and our first time at Red, White, and Boom – not sure exactly where the best place to watch the fireworks is so it would be AMAZING to get these tickets! Please please please pick me!!! 🙂

    I can’t think of a better place or better people to spend the night with.

    I want tickets so I can prove that vodka and fireworks do mix.

    I want to attend because this is my 9th year in Columbus and somehow I have NEVER been to Red, White, and Boom! I hate big crowds and they usually keep me away… would LOVE to attend and see what kind of show Columbus puts on!

      The great thing about this event is that it’s away from the major festival. I’ve been a few times, it doesn’t get better when you’re with the general public. Location is very close to the launch points at COSI.

    Do I really have to give you a reason other than the ones you gave me? Beer & fireworks? Sign me up!

    I have a husband that does not prefer crowds! If i have a “private” venue I may be able to convince him to experience Red White and Boom! What a fantastic idea – and setting!! LOVE it!
