Sky-high praise
Dear Northern Lights Drone Shows,
On behalf of the Village of Round Lake Beach I want to express my sincerest gratitude for the Northern Lights Drone Show that you brought to our community during the 2023 Elote Festival. The addition of the drone show was a beautiful and heartwarming experience for everyone in Round Lake Beach and the surrounding communities. It provided a wonderful opportunity for families and loved ones to come together and enjoy the festival in a unique and special way.
We are so appreciative of the effort that the Bear Paw Adventure Park team put into making this drone show possible. Your team was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure that the show reflected the event and even our Elote Festival Mascot, Maizito, was included in the show. It was a wonderful feeling to see our community represented in lights and to hear the cheers of festival attendees when "We Love RLB" illuminated the sky.
The positive impact that the Northern Lights Drone Show had on our community cannot be overstated. It was truly a magical experience, and we are already looking forward to having you back for our Elote Festival in 2024 and other events in the years to come!
Once again, thank you for everything that you did to bring joy and excitement to our community.
Sincerely,
Scott Nickles | Mayor of Round Lake Beach, IL

On behalf of the City of New Berlin Fourth of July Commission I would like to express our sincerest appreciation for the fabulous drone show that took place on July 5th, 2024. This addition to our city’s 56th annual event was an absolute success on many levels. The positive feedback we have received regarding the drone show, through Facebook, emails and phone calls, has exceeded any feedback we have received to all other additions to our schedule in decades. The media coverage the City of New Berlin received in the days leading up to the event was amazing. All three major tv news channels highlighted our event due in large part to the addition of the drone show.
I will share one phone call in specific that came into our clerk’s office. The caller shared that she was moved to tears with the patriotic content featured in the drone show.
On the business side of things – Northern Lights Drone Shows could not have been more responsive to our questions, concerns and requests. You came to our commission meetings to answer questions and addressed the concerns of not only our commissioners, but of our City Attorney as well. You took our suggestions and weaved them into a cohesive production in the night sky that was beautiful, patriotic and put to music! The crowd roared with enthusiasm when you highlighted our city in color.
Sincere appreciation for making our first experience positive, colorful, emotional and simply amazing. We look forward to inviting the Northern Lights Drone Show to be a regular part of our celebration for many decades to come.
Polly Oldenburg | City of New Berlin 4th of July Coordinator
