The membership gets plenty of opportunity to view and appreciate their neighbor's talents. Because PGI is a family oriented organization the kids have fun too. One particularly striking project was tying Chem-Lume tubes to helium balloons and releasing a flight of them for all to see them drift away. During the week there are nightly displays of competitions for judging of builder's shells, vendor's demonstrations, and displays of many kinds. This is where the best of the best is seen.
Anvil shooting is an occasional event.
Several vendors will have tables loaded with essentially anything you could need. A large room, building, or tent is stocked with goodies by many vendors. Usually the C vending is adjacent to a shooting area where anything you buy may be shot under safe conditions. Usually, an open field has been designated with areas for ignition of different types of Class C material. Class B Open Shooting Mortars will have been dug in for open shooting and safety barriers put in place.
