PGI: FireStorm "The Amsterdam of Fireworks"

Pyros from all across America drive, fly, or hitch hike to Fargo, North Dakota for PGI's annual convention. This year it's called "Firestorm" and if it's like any other PGI convention there will be plenty of fire and fireworks! Two thousand members meet at the Red River Valley Fairgrounds to share their passion of fireworks. Hundreds of hours went not only in the planning and initiation of this convention but in the main aspect of what it's all about, the hobbyist and enthusiast. Many Pyro's craft their own fireworks weeks before the event, spending hours if not days on each firework they construct. These "sky artists" paint a picture that lasts for mere seconds. If we're lucky we'll see something that's 30 seconds long yet took days to build. PGI'ers will see displays, product demonstrations, trade show, try Class C fireworks, Rockets, etc. We'll cover as much as possible during the weeks events and report back to you.
