Being a Pyrotechnician

From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 13 November 2020

Pyrotechnician Michelle Harris is putting the final touches on the Lights Over Marlborough fireworks display being held in Blenheim this weekend. It's the town's biggest public fireworks display, and if you're in the area it kicks off at 6pm tomorrow at A and P Park.

She tells Jesse how she stumbled in to this line of work after a chance meeting several years ago.
