The local Lake Havasu City cable channel (along with a myriad of newspaper reporters) showed up to get the skinny about WWB. Russ Laurie (WPA President) handled them with ease. |

The Arizona sunsets are absolutely stunning. This weekend was no exception. |
|
|
|
There was a threat of rain on Sunday morning that never panned out. Sure was a pleasant change from last years downpours! |
|
|
|
At the end of the Boom Boom display, Bill Zuber (seen just at the bottom of the picture) set off one of his walls of fire. |
|
|
|
|
This time I adjusted the camera for Bill Zuber's wall-o-fire to catch all of the detail in the fireballs. |

|
The Million Firecracker Tent (or Teepee). |
|
|
|
The crew that put this awesome assembly of crackers together. |
|
|
|
And the inside was not as empty as first thought. |
|
|
|
For the entire day, all you could do is just look at the thing and wonder how it would look. |
|
|
|
|
The cracker tent was ignited from 4 locations. At first, it looked like it was a normal cracker event. |
|
|
|
But then all of a sudden, it went over the top. |
|
|
|
A huge fireball developed and before you knew it.... |
|
|
|
it was fully consumed. It all went up in about 15 seconds. No kidding - a million crackers in 15 seconds! (The debris did pop off for over 10 minutes, but it was awesome to see the whole thing go at once.) |
|
|
|
The day after. Frankly I was suprised to see the wood still standing. Good job for the construction. |
|
|
|
|
The folks from A.M. and Wolverine had to set up amidst the debris from BoomBoom's show. |
|
|
|
The vendor tent was a happening place. |
|
|
|
The folks from Outlaw Pyro giving me a peak at their peeps. |

|
Chris Spurrell lit off the six bowls of his colored alcohol mix. This time he lit them with one of his monstor sparklers. |
|
|
|
|
Afterwards, you just had to admire the sparks in the wind. |

The assortment of colored alcohol bowls. |

So Mike Smith contacted me via email before WWB about taking a picture. "Sure!" I said. And here's his Pyro Portrait! |
|
|
|
Mike *thought* about posing with some titanium fountains, but in the end he didn't think that would be a good idea. Made for an impressive display. |
