Thank you for being sponsors of the 1999 Heart Of Virginia Festival

(If you would like to see a full size version of any of the pictures just click on the picture!)

Saturday Evening's Firework Display was the biggest and best in the history of this event which has become a tradition of the Heart Of Virginia Festival. Few of the spectators probably realise the amount of hard work and preparation that goes on behind the scenes to put on this spectacular display of pyrotechnics.

	We are very lucky in Farmville that the talent and skill to produce such a show exists within the Town Of Farmville.
The town employees load all the fireworks led by town manager, Gerry Spates, who is a qualified pyrotechnician. The red trailer loaded with fireworks that you see pictured to the far left was designed and built in the town and is a fantastic achievement. You can see more pictures of the trailer in the archive for 1998's festival.

The fireworks can always be seen for miles around although you need to come down to the airport to get the best effect and enjoy oohing and aahing and even occasionally screaming with the rest of the crowd.
