Working

Just a quick post - everyone is working hard. '76 Pyro Issue #15 is almost done. The 2011 Gold Price List has just been released, along with our Early Order Sale. We have updated the prices on the website and are working to put the full 2011 product line on the web. We are also working on the February NFA Newsletter.

The big project is the catalog. We started with a photoshoot in January, and are now in the thick of things. Product descriptions are done, now our genius graphic artist Michael Richards is working his magic on about 600 items.

Issue #11 of '76 Pyro has gone to the press! Please visit www.76pyro.com - THE Fireworks Magazine to subscribe. In this issue, we were fortunate to have some amazing contributors come through for us. Jackie Whedbee and Mark Stadsklev gave us some great photos and info on fireworks in Alaska. Cindy Chueng of Shogun provided a great interview with the founder of Kimbolton Fireworks, and Phil Grucci recounts his amazing experience shooting fireworks for China's 60th Anniversary.

Prospective Cover - '76 Pyro

Today I thought I would post a picture given to me by our editor - Michael Richards. This is a prospective cover for the next issue of '76 Pyro featuring beautiful artwork from Rosemarie Fiore. It is unlikely that this will be the final cover, so I thought I would share a rare glimpse of the magazine during production.

'76 Pyro Update

I have just uploaded the new version of www.76pyro.com to the server. The look of the website is a bit improved, and I have added a few things:

- translation options
- foreign subscription options
- more information on each issue
- faster load time for the video page

I hope to make even more changes to the site over the next few months. If you get a chance, check out the new site.
