Good News!𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗲𝗱𝗮𝗿 𝗟𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘀/𝗠𝗼𝗣𝘆𝗿𝗼 𝗟𝗮𝘄𝘀𝘂𝗶𝘁
10/25/2021 – On behalf of the MoPyro Board of Directors, we are happy to share with our membership and our fans that MoPyro and Cedar Lake Cellars have settled the lawsuit regarding the Pyromania trademark and several other issues and look forward to the future of our Sky Wars event. As a result of this mutually agreed-upon resolution, MoPyro will retain all legal rights in and to the Sky Wars trademark for our annual display and Cedar Lake Cellars will retain all legal rights in and to the Pyromania and Feel The Boom trademarks for their annual display. A protracted legal battle was not in either party’s best interest, and we are collectively satisfied with this settlement and feel it is fair and equitable for both parties.
As part of the settlement, both sides have agreed not to disparage each other. Thus, the MoPyro Board is requesting that MoPyro members and fans do not disparage Cedar Lake Cellars, the Pyromania event and any of their affiliates or their efforts going forward. We are aware that this lawsuit has caused some emotional responses from our fans in the past. To ensure that we remain in full compliance with the agreement of the parties, we urge everyone to refrain from making any negative comments on social media or any other platforms about Cedar Lake Cellars or the Pyromania event at Cedar Lake Cellars.
Sincerely,
Your MOpyro Board

I can't imagine how many letters the Whitehouse would get on this if the news covered it. 😂
A couple Fireants dropped by...

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Skywars was a huge success! Thanks to the team and PAT for making it happen.
What a great group of people!
Wheres the video?
More Pro-Am Pyro!
Good Luck guys.. Regardless of status you all have already won. Looks like PAT is well represented. Wish we could be there. !
Would like to know if u take in new members?
Working hard on our Pro-Am display at Sky Wars!
How do I sign up for notifications of these events? I’m already subscribed but would love to come help out and or spectate.
Make us proud!!!
Thanks James for leading and all the members of PAT that are helping, supporting, and rooting the team on. Hope we make as big of an impact on SkyWars as we did at PGI this year!
My first event and excited to support PAT and hope to meet some of you !
Lets make both leading classes and building at PyroFest easier by putting together some common tools. Can you help us buy anvil cutters, pyro pokes, tape dispensers, ect.? Do you have any contacts to get these in bulk or at a good discount?
Aluminum Foil Tape 2 inch is the best size, www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-7166/Specialty-Tape/Industrial-Aluminum-Foil-Tape-2-x-60-yds
Brent Black makes brass pokes in quantity.
Ground Salute Tie up Twine, www.uline.com/Product/Detail/H-120/Twine-Rope/Polypropylene-Twine-110-lb-Tensile-Strength-1-Ply
Any other common tools we should add??? Many of these tools will also be of help in setting up the displays.
Source for Masking Tape, www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-11736/Masking-Tape/Uline-General-Purpose-Masking-Tape-1-x-60-yds Source for quality box tape 3.5mil minimum, www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-447/Carton-Sealing-Tape/Heavy-Duty-Industrial-Tape-35-Mil-2-x-55-y...
These are the cheapest anvil cutters I have been able to find, 20 pairs would run us $195 including shipping. www.blasterstool.com/blastmastershears.aspx

Harley and I dropped by and said hello on our way to Nelson’s to drop off the guns from PyroFest.
What is next? Who wants to lead a display? Who wants to build something new? Who wants to make our group better? I'm building a team I can support and help guide PAT for 2022! Let's make amazing things happen.
I would like to help out with safety and fire prevention.
I would love to donate a 10 minute 1.4 show and could also host a class on simplifying 1.4 show construction with cobra slats.
I can donate product and would love to learn more.
PAT & Flambeaux Fireworks each donated $250. to the Round Mountain Volunteer Fire Department. We thank them for their service as First Responders, but also thank them for providing timely, professional fire fighting at Pyrofest when needed, as well as deploying extra staff & equipment to assure adequate protection & water supplies.
Deep Thanks RMVFD!

I have great video as well but it is proving difficult to get off my camera and uploaded. But I am working on it.
Welcome! Recorded with my phone, still need to check how the gopro footage came out
That may be one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen! I can’t imagine what it must’ve felt or looked like in person.
Please upload your Photos and Videos to this link:

What a good show.
Here is the anthem with the music!!!!
“And where is that band who so vauntingly swore, That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion A home and a Country should leave us no more? Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.”
Jajaira Panda Ruthie David Ted Jeremy
Saturday at Pyrofest: there was more shell/rocket/pinata/effect building, 4-Display setups including class built shells led by John(the FireGod), an incredible National Anthem Display honoring First Responders & Veterans on 9/11 by Michael & Matt(with real rocket's red glare), an ear shattering Mascaleta by Nick & co, and a magnificent Final Big Display by Marshall & Andrea. Just before all the displays were launched there was a lil-100 person group feast of smoked pulled pork & sausage courtesy of Nick & Harley(you know you're in Texas when the hardest workers at an event also smoke BBQ for you). More detail, videos, and thanks to follow.
Nice run down! Still trying to remember all we did personally. 🤪 Awesome work everyone!!! What an amazing event. I’m hoping to keep improving. It felt like we were all family. Thank you all!

I had some special made so that I wouldn't get them mixed up with my Welding flip-flops.
Thanks to Harley for Helping me build the Rocket Racks last night. Hopefully this design will stick as the racks are much lighter and stack together when folded up. Best Design yet, stolen from PGI Rocket Racks.

Saturday at PyroFest is full of excitement. The Displays get finished up as we fix all the last minute issues. Most of the classes go out to open shooting and shoot the thing we have been building. We all gather for some BBQ just before dark and talk about what all we have done. Then it gets Dark and we get to see what all the hard work was for, PYRO-MUSICALS!!!

Shell building tonight!
Wayyyy too close to each other! All in a confined space.
Are those the special static-free plastic tables they're using?
Brent Brod will be leading the Black Match Class. This is an essential skill for those learning how to make fireworks, as Black match is key to fuse, quick match, and propagating fire within many effects.
