Pyrotechnical Institute




Years of careful research in the pyrotechnical arts resulted in a stunning display for the fine folks of Olney, Illinois this past weekend. My esteemed colleagues, Prof. Haglund, and Mayor Lambird, set the night sky aglow and managed to walk away without injury, say for our deteariating eardrums.
