The Western Pyrotechnics Association (www.westernpyro.org) has been putting on these shows for 25 years and this is the 26th. There are professionals and amateurs involved and apparently you can join a club and design and make your own fireworks. The announcer on Saturday night explained some of what was happening and many of the fireworks we saw on Sunday night were made during the week by the local club members including the\u00a081-year-old mother of the announcer.<\/p>\n

On each of the 4 nights the fireworks started at dusk and even earlier and went until 10:30 p.m. On Thursday and Friday we thought they were not really exciting but still lots of fun with the big “boomers” going off even during the day. On Saturday and Sunday nights though, they were amazing. There were different companies showing off their wares and creativity with one show after another. With only a few small breaks to “put out fires” the shows were almost non-stop all evening with some huge displays that filled the sky above us.<\/p>\n
