★ FIREWORKS ★ PGI ★ ALL STARS ★ LEGENDS OF MUSKEGON ★ 1996 ★

A PRICELESS DISPLAY OF PYROTECHNIC EXHIBITION SHELLS.

100 % AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS

THIS IS THE VERY FIRST PGI ALL STAR'S DISPLAY
FROM SKY ROCKIN' MUSKEGON MICHIGAN BACK IN 1996.
KNOW AS "THE BEST OF SOME OF THE BEST"

27 MEMBERS PARTICIPATED BY CONTRIBUTING SOME OF THEIR FINEST PYROTECHNIC PROJECTS AND SIGNATURE SHELLS.
MAKING IT "A ONCE IN A LIFETIME DISPLAY"

FOR THE LAST OF THE OLD SNORTS;
IN THE BOOTH ARE CHUCK TENGE & ROB BERK,
PROVIDING THE COLORFUL COMMENTARY.
(INSIGHT INFUSED WITH HUMOR).

THIS IS RARE "BEHIND THE SCENES FOOTAGE" GUYS! lol!

:::::::::BE FOREWARNED ABOUT THESE OLD VIDEOS::::::::
UNFORTUNATELY, SOME OF MY FOOTAGE GOES OUT OF FOCUS FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES IN THE MIDDLE.
STROBE SHELLS USUALLY CAUSE THAT.

BUT YOU WILL NEVER FIND ANOTHER ALL STAR LINE UP STACKED
WITH AS MUCH TALENT AS THIS ONE.
ALL PRODUCTS WERE HAND MADE IN THE USA.
LOADED WITH EXHIBITION SHELLS & ROCKETRY.
SOME NEVER SEEN BEFORE, AND...
SOME NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN.

NOW,
TEST YOUR PYROTECHNIC KNOWLEDGE AND SEE HOW MANY OF THESE MASTER SHELL BUILDERS YOU RECOGNIZE.
