Demo Nights 2009 at Kellner's Fireworks

Another Demo Night weekend has come and gone! We had beautiful "Scottish" weather or typical Pennsylvania spring weather depending on your perspective. Thursday was dedicated to open club shooting, Friday was Consumer Fireworks product demonstration night and Saturday was Display Fireworks product demonstration night. Sesame Chen of Golden Peak Fireworks made her annual trip from China to be on hand for demo weekend answering questions and product development. Kellner's Fireworks and Golden Peak's exclusive relationship allows the individual fine tuning of each firework making it above and beyond a comparable brand.

The attendees enjoyed great seminars and fantastic fireworks. In case you couldn't attend, here are the activities you missed:

Thursday

Light Up the Sky with Pyro Club Open Shooting Pyro club members started Demo Nights early with dark sky set aside just for them. Club members were invited to shoot products before the crowd showed up on Friday and Saturday. Kellner's accented the night by setting off class B display shells throughout the evening. The 6" Ghost shell made its debut at Kellner's causing a slight fire out in the field and a fire truck embedded in the mud.
