For those of you who might be interested the Laporte county fairgrounds located in Laporte is hosting the PGI international convention this week.
These are the businesses that manufacture the fireworks that most company's buy that put on fireworks shows.
This is a very large gathering with an on site medical center,and high security. They even made a large donation to the county small animal shelter in order for them to relocate sheltered animals off site for this week and they also contracted with a local farmer last year to have him grow winter wheat so that his field which borders the fairgrounds can be used as a parking lot for the crowds of people.
This organization has fenced off the entire fair grounds and only members with 2 special passes can gain entry.
NOW FOR THE EXCITING PART:
Tonight and again on Thursday and Friday they are going to be putting on large shows to show case their products.
For those of you that enjoy fireworks this is your chance to see some amazing fireworks that for some communities are considered illegal.
For example Laporte is limited to only shooting 6" shells during it's fourth of July celebrations as well as many small communities are.
During this weeks shows they will be shooting 12" shells.
A friend of mine who is associated with this group stated that Fridays show will be unbelievable to say the least.
