Members of the board of directors for the National Fireworks Association will conduct a site visit today at the Rogersville Sports Complex, the location chosen for the group's fireworks events during its national convention Sept. 7-12, 2010, at the University Plaza Hotel and Convention Center.
The convention is expected to bring more than 500 people to the area from as far as China, said a press release from the Springfield Hotel-Motel Association.
The sports complex will host the fireworks demonstrations Sept. 9-10, 2010, with a public fireworks demonstration and competition to follow Sept. 11, 2010, when the City of Rogersville will host a festival.
