IPA - Iowa Pyrotechnic Association

It is with great sorrow that yesterday we learned of the passing of another ipa member and former president Ray Garris.
He was the guy with a smile on his face all the time, could light up a room and was a true friend to many. Pyro was his passion and he will be greatly missed.

For those that attended PGI this year and won a trophy, please bring those to our meeting Saturday. We would love to share in your excitement.

If anyone needs anything from the fireworks farm, please get ahold of me, Tony lenz or call Jason at the farm. He will be coming to the club class today.

So this Saturday at 2pm we will have a star rolling class possibly followed up with a round table discussion about the goods and bads of everyone's fireworks shows. We have a shoot permit and no burn bans in place so bring your toys to play. There is no potluck so either pack a dinner or run to vinton for food. Looking forward to seeing everyone this Saturday. Be safe!

Good morning pyro people. Due to several events happening this weekend including Gary's celebration of Life, there will be no class on Saturday. This is an open shoot for that evening for those that want to go and test for PGI. If anyone had any questions, please reqch out to Tony or me, Dan. Thanks and have a safe and wonderful day!

It is with great sadness that we have to share the passing of another ipa member. Gary Peiffer slipped away from us Thursday morning. We send out thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. He was a great guy and will be truly missed.

PGI class underway.

Did someone lose these yesterday at the meeting?

The junior ipa will be hand lighting a bunch of cakes and artillery shells at this meeting on saturday. Pleade feel free to bring some of either if you would like to shoot some off. Please see John Kuennan with questions
