You can either buy tickets for reserved seats or just go early and look for an open area for seating.

PGI Fargo "Firestorm" 2007 - John Sagaria's Inspiration
On Friday 10th August 2007 at the PGI Convention, John Sagaria presented his "Inspiration" show which included some of our products.
Here is a photo of John Werner rushing to finish up all the US flag set pieces (thanks to the group of PGI members who showed up at the last minute to help!). The show was terrible to set up due to weather, either threathening to rain or high winds which knocked over set pieces (including the letters I-N-S-P-I-R-A-T-I-O-N).
These are segments from John Sagaria's show at the PGI Convention last Friday. We apologise for the motion sickness inducing videos.
Segment 1 starts off with Vulcan Very Loud Diamond Screamer Rapid Fire Fan cakes, then, peacock fans, triple transformation wheels, candle barrages, modular cakes, go getter mines, and some Vulcan shells.
Segment 2 (includes lighting up of the word INSPIRATION)
Segment 3 (with the US flag lance setpiece with Victoria Falls on bottom)
