I have been to this event. It is great fun.However, for the last three years I have been trying to get them to change the date for one week later, to coincide with the international fireworks convention/show in Havasu. It is a fantastic show that we do not miss. All other fireworks shows look like kids with sparklers compared to this show. It runs all weekend for four days.We would be going to the Laughlin event, coming home, then going back to Havasu the next weekend. Too many miles/gas/hotel rooms, etc...Not to say I'm not going, I'm just sayin'.... We may skip the fireworks show for this year. Not sure 'til it get's closer.

As it stands it seems there are only a couple that make it so it has to be tail end of January because it always has been. I am all for change if it makes something better then it is .

I am all for change if it makes something better then it is .I just checked the dates for the annual Winterblast 2009, sponsored by the Western Pyrotecnics Association.They are starting a week later this year for some reason. It will start on the 12th and end on the 15th of February. The best shows are on Saturday and Sunday nights.Well worth the trip for absolute sure. JMHO, but I think it would help motivate peeps to sign up for the trip. It would be a fantastic climax for the weekend no doubt.
I've been suggesting it for years. That's why I haven't gone for years. I'd rather go to the fireworks show, but it would be cool to combine it.Maybe the powers that make the decision has some good reason. Be interesting to know what it is. Hopefully it's not some dumbarse reason like "it's tradition. We do it the same weekend every year", or some silly crap like that. Good luck with it. Maybe next year if we all still have our AVs.

Yup that is the exact reason. Tradition. I am getting tons of that. Now if you see events failing then I say change it and it also seems that many are open to change. Why is it one can call all the shots and demand things stay as is instead of allowing the many to decide ?
yes I know. It seems that change is needed and in order to do this it is going to make serious waves ugh. Damn I sound like a democrat we need change Now I am going to just go shoot myself
