Two Guinness world records for the biggest fireworks display and the longest barbecue grill is the ambitious aim of Cebu City when the city government launches its 300-hectare reclamation project in May.

If this happens, it would be a perfect backdrop for the launch of the South Road Properties (SRP), said Mayor Tomas Osmeña.

He said pyrotechnics manufacturer Bryan Lim of Pyro Works sought permission from him to hold a fireworks display aimed at setting a world record.

About 110,000 fireworks will be set off in less than a minute, Osmeña said.

“And he wants to do it at the SRP. He asked for my support and I said wow, that’s a great opportunity to launch the SRP,” the mayor said.

Osmeña said city officials plan to hold the launching in May before the elections.

“All kinds of events are happening at the SRP, including breaking the record for having the longest barbecue… again. It sounds like fun, di ba? From here to there (from the starting point of the SRP up to the end of it.). That’s going to be longer.” he said.

“I don’t think there’s any problems getting sponsors. But the city will spend also because the SRP is our project. We are just riding on it (the fireworks event),” he added.

Instead of a campaign miting de avance, the mayor said the launch would be the administration party’s way of thanking their supporters.

A concert is also planned.

“So we’ll just treat them. Ever since the first election, our miting de avance is just a party. We can even combine it with that (fireworks display and longest barbecue)…Why not? That sounds like a lot of fun,” Osmeña said. Click here for the original article.

Skegness was flooded with visitors, fireworks and lights last weekend as the SO 2009 festival kicked off.

Music, entertainment, cabaret and even opera were on the menu for this cultural extraveganza that featured the lights switch on and of course, the obligatory fireworks.

Thousands of people watched in wonder as “The World Famous” presented Terrafolk with the incredible fireworks display, followed by the countdown and the switching on of the lights.

The World Famous was formed in 1999 by a group of pyrotechnicians and designers who wanted to explore new ways of working with fire and fireworks.

Since then, they have been creating shows which blend pyrotechnics with performance, large images, music, projection, procession and/or community involvement.

More than 8000 people had gathered on central beach and were bathed in colour as the atmospheric and sometimes spooky music washed over them and the fireworks whistled and crackled above.

Mayor of Skegness Coun Pat Phillips said: “It was fabulous. The atmosphere was electric and and I think everybody has enjoyed it so much… I’ve never seen so many people here.”

She led the switch-on countdown with Lincs FM presenter and the evening’s host Eddie Shaw, and chairman of East Lindsey District Council Coun Stan Avison.

Success for Skegness, although there were a few reservations about the timing of the lights switch on, to wait for the dark it meant that the lights werent lit till 10:45pm. This was a bit of a burden on the hundreds of children who were there eagerly awaiting the spectacle. It was also whispered that perhaps Skegness wasn’t the best choice of location for an Opera. That said the opera was enjoyed by hundreds and Skegness took several large steps away from its image as a dreary has-been holiday town, and moved towards its bright (very well illuminated anyway) future as a cultural venue that can not only tolerate the arts but has something to contribute. Well done Skeggy!
