Pyrofest 2015

[N3OQO]

We just got news that Pyrofest is being moved to Coopers Lake, in Butler county. We have been there the first three years and loved it. This might be a game changer though. I'm wondering who is in charge of logistics and so forth for the event. Last year the VIP parking and VIP entrance were totally disorganized.

I think they do, however, need to bring somone other than Caballer. He is very good, but they are not giving any of the of other mastermind artists a chance. There are many other countries that compete in events and are world famous for their displays. Why do they limit it to Spain? What about Canada, Italy, Japan, Malta etc.?

This is gonna be my first year going! Im so excited! I'm going VIP all the way lol

No doubt the wife and I will be there. My concern here is moving it out of the city that far away? Hmmmm, hope it works.

I told you once the PGI had that convention on that property in Pennsylvania someone else would be looking to hold a fireworks event there. I wish I could find where I posted that . LOL
Two day event, this is big. Not sure what is planned, Pyrofest advertises with me , however they usually do not tell me much. As the weeks go by I will see what I can find out and release with their permission. I have non confirmed rumors of someone else looking at the property for fireworks related activity but I will announce that if it becomes a reality. This site is prime and it is located directly off of a major interstate highway. The Butler County Convention bureau man in charge loves bringing fireworks events to the area.
Here is an unlisted video from April 2013 that gives you some idea of the size of only part of the property. This video was just before the PGI convention that year.

it IS a nice fireworks spot . I spent a week there camped out (literally) for PGI 2013 .
hopefully, the road situation is all cleared up . there were some crazily annoying detours you had to take to get out / in of the area .

Oh man! Christmas is coming early this year! This will be my first event with my 54 in hand, and I was wondering if there will be vendors with 1.3 product available? I would love to get my hands on some Spanish or Italian shells!!! I can hardly wait! Is there any way to be notified once ticket sales are open or do I have to keep checking their website? It's a pretty decent drive for me to get there and will definitely be attending regardless of 1.3 product availability, but I hope there will be!!!

[Westpapyro]

No 1.3 for sale, not that kind of event. More of a show! You could hit Fireart or Kellners on the way home.

This will be my first time going, its only a six hour drive. If your going you better get a hotel room I just booked my hotel room and they only have one left. When will the tickets be made available?

[PGH_Pyro]

This is an edited version of my video from the PGI convention when it was held on this same property. You can reference this for hotel information since Pyrofest 2015 is on the same property.

Hey Dave since I have never been there before How do you buy tickets do they sell them thru something like ticketmasters or something like that ?
