The PGI has been responsible for infulenceing and even transforming the lives of many young men and women as they discovered a vast wealth of information and people willing to share thief knowledge. 

Matt Roach, Tony Stader, and Chuck Stankus proudly display their trophies after competing in and winning nightly fireworks competitions.   Competition is a great example of the spirit of the PGI in which judges watch individual fireworks effects and judge each according to artistic and technical standards.
