Aaron Mayfield of A.M. pyrotechnics did a seminar about exotic and endangered fireworks in the United States. Just before this started, I got a call by Kief on the radio to get my camera over to the seminar tent area. In no time at all, there was a LARGE crowd around the tents, primarily made up of WWB staff. And for good reason - as you can see here.

When I showed up at the table, I was awed by the array of product displayed. And so was EVERYBODY who came over.	Aaron Mayfield (on the right), owner/operator of A.M. Pyrotechnics did the seminar (with Kief drooling, uh, looking on in the background).	12" Salami? No problem.	Randy Baranek (Safety Chair) showed up and couldn't keep his eyes off the product.	Kelly Goebel (Security Chair) was also there to gaze long and hard on this impressive array.
There was also some excellent inert shells showing the construction of Japanese styled shells.	As people looked on, Randy started putting his name on a LOT of the shells. Yup, Aaron sold just about all that he had on the table, and Randy's name was on a number of them.	As the seminar started, a very large crowd was on hand (and it didn't thin down).		The LaRosa family (3rd generation Sicilian) fireworks manufactures were here to see their very fine work displayed. THANK YOU to you all!!!
