Pyrotechnic Artists of Texas (PAT)
https://www.cityoffate.com/celebratefate Fireworks Shows Canceled Due To Rain Forecast
As of 9/21/2018, the City has canceled the Fireworks Displays.
This will be the fifth year Flambeaux & PAT Friends have thanked the Nelson’s by setting up the 1.4G Display for this Event. Our way to thank them for their generosity and hosting of our club events. This is a Charity Display, no one, including Flambeaux Fireworks, will get paid for working on this 1.4G Display. Rex Nelson picks out over 150 cakes from his inventory, (last year totaled 151 cakes: 151-500g) really! We script it and then we wire it all up with a Cobra firing system and shoot it. 3-Position Front, Comet/Mine runs if we have time. Flambeaux Fireworks will be the Lead in setting up the 1.4G Display. The 1.4G Display will begin upon darkness, in tandem with a 1.3G Display performed by another company. (Note: Sign-offs will not be available at this event.) It’s a great family atmosphere, feel free to invite friends and family to attend the display, lots of room for lawn chairs and blankets.
So if you’d like to help PAT in setting up the 1.4G Display, while learning about 1.4G techniques, come find us in the field, here are the details:
