I am surprised that there has been no advertising on this event:

On Saturday, September 22nd, join us for the first-ever fireworks competition in the nation! See teams from the US, Canada and Mexico compete for best display, plus a stunning finale by Rozzi! It's 4 fireworks shows in one night!

Coney Island Amusement Park Cincinnati Ohio

[LEFT]It's never been done before, and it may leave you breathless...but on Saturday, September 22, the USA's first-ever fireworks' competition will rock the night sky over Lake Como in the inaugural "Fire Up The Night" international fireworks' challenge, presented by Dr. Pepper.[/LEFT]
[LEFT]The event will pit the USA vs. Canada and Mexico in a best-of-the-best fireworks' extravaganza for international bragging rights.[/LEFT]
[LEFT]The winner will be determined by a 5-judge panel and audience vote. Each show will be judged on such things as presentation, structure and scale, colors, originality and music synchronization.[/LEFT]
Competitors in the world-class event will be:

[LEFT]Alonzo Fireworks (Albany, New York, USA)
Sirius Pyrotechnics (Montreal, Canada)
Lux Pirotecnia (Mexico City, Mexico)[/LEFT]
[LEFT]And, following the international competition, Rozzi's Famous Fireworks will fire up the night in a thundering finale not to be missed![/LEFT]

I find it strange this is the first fireworks competition held in the US. I know they are held quite a bit in Europe with representatives from several countries taking part.

Yeah, and if they are going to do that they better have a license and be serving some suds.

I saw a brief mention of this on the Enquirer's website this morning. What a fun idea!

Oh, come on ... Beer-free events are OK (although Coney does sell beer, or at least it used to). Not everyone is a beer bum like us.
