Hamilton on Fire

Through a complicated chain of events (my brothers wife knew someone at work who told them about the event), we headed out to Hamilton Harbour to catch a fireworks display put on by the Canadian Fireworks Association, as part of their 2010 Convention.
We ended up in the top half of the parking lot, and were able to secure some bench's at a "point" that projected over the lower parking lot. We had blankets as it turned cold, but a great view of the event.
There were a variety of events, such as an east west battle, and demonstrations of new fireworks being developed. Everyone was enjoying the show, even though a lot of people bailed from the event without realizin that there was still a finale to go. The full show lasted from 8:45 til after 10, and included some 1812 re-enactor canon firing from 7:30 to 8:45.
