One of the great things about Winter Blast is the manufacturing line, allowing our members to experiment and test new and old ideas, or just to build stuff and have fun.

Gary "Thump Junkie" Lemon with one of his, uh, "4 inch" salutes. After all, it *is* Thunder On The River, right?	Who said Class C had to be boring? Not these guys.	More Class C goodies	Roy Feathers had his portable wind screen with him.
I really like rockets. I love experiements like this one.	Bruce Steyding was there with his MONSTER 20lb and 60lb rockets, along with a two stage'er. Bruce - you're awesome.	Bill Ryan (Mfg Co-Chair) with his haul of rockets.	Richard Haase making sure the stars were ripe.	No words necessary, other than "Hhhooooo boy!"
The Lillies working on a mine/salute cake.	And Donn Daly did one of his great pinwheels.	Front and back side - impressive.		John Steinberg working on his rocket press.
I took these to show a bit on how a shell is made.			You see something new each year. How about a roman candle gatling gun?	There was also a fire ball generator on hand. (Sometimes known as a smoke ring generator!)
		A nice shell assembly line	Complete with bee inserts	Gack! The truck made it in again! (This truck *always* appears somewhere!)
