Saint Louis

We are getting ready for the Pyro U shoot in St. Louis next weekend. Friday the 26th we will be demoing about 30 items, and Saturday the 27th our resident pyros Jeff and Ryan will be putting on an amazing show. I have seen bits and pieces of their plan, and it will blow people away.

If you are in the area, you should definitely come out. There will be 11 demos on Friday night, and several Class C and Class B shows on Saturday, so it is well worth the drive. Hope to see you there!

NFA Expo

Sunday morning, the 76 crew returned to Columbia, MO. This year's Expo was amazing! Billings is a great city, small and easy to get around, with some great restaurants. The demos were at a great location, and the trade show location was terrific as well. The turn-out was fantastic, and everyone seemed to be getting a lot of business taken care of.

The expo was my first chance to catch a show by Aaron Mayfield in person. One of the best in the business, A.M. Pyrotechnics (http://www.ampyro.com) has a reputation for going above and beyond. Saturday night's show was no exception! It was a great way to end an astounding week of fireworks.

If you are a member of the NFA, thank the board members for putting together such a great conference. If you are not a member, you should be. You can join for as little as $30 and help support the fireworks industry. Click here to join the NFA. Next year's expo will be in WI, which should have an even better turn out than this year. I'm looking forward to it.
