The Crackerjacks Inc. Fireworks Club will be offering the PGI Display Fireworks Display Operator Certification Course at their Spring Shoot this May in Wilburton, Pa. This is probably the only time the course will be offered in Eastern Pennsylvania and in the New England Area south to NY, NJ and Delaware in the near future. It is an excellent location for those seeking certification from these geographical areas. There are only 25 slots in the class, so hurry and register today because I expect them to go fast. If you have any questions please fee free to contact me.
