My husband has a special laugh reserved for things that impress and entertain him. He's a tough cookie so I don't hear it super often, but this fireworks show definitely brought out my favorite laugh of his. The PGI fireworks show is an amazing display of creative new fireworks, fireballs, and firecrackers. If you weren't blown back in your chair, blinded, or had your ears ringing during the show, you didn't get your money's worth.
We first attended the PGI show in 2009 in Mason City, IA when my husband's parents still lived in the area. PGI is on a 5 year rotation through 5 states so it was finally Mason City's turn to host again this year. We enjoyed the show so much in 2009 that we made a point to go back this year. The program is a little tedious as they do various recognitions of pyro technicians and PGI members, and they need time to set up displays and put out resulting fires in the field. But the fireworks are fantastic. Some are so bright you can barely look at them, some shake the ground so much the bleachers vibrate, some are so loud they make your heart skip a beat, and some have so much explosion force that they blow you back in your seat. These fireworks have the brightest colors, fullest color trails, and insane finales that light up the entire sky with tons of fireworks all at the same time. Very cool show, way more impressive than a normal 4th of July show.
