The presenters are most often Members who have advanced skills and are recognized for their capabilities. Constructions techniques and tooling are often a subject. A PGI Volunteer schedules the seminar programs and may be contacted at an address listed in a pre-convention Bulletin. New and interesting subjects are always being looked for. A large room or a building is allocated for the sale of T-shirts, tools, books, tubes, and memorabilia related to fireworks.
Vendors pay for table space to display their wares.
Hours of operation are listed in the program. Art Show Members submit for exhibit and judging their creations in visual and physical arts. 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.
