    Hi there Canada!!
    
    	Does anyone know where and when the Benson & Hedges International
    Fireworks Competition is going to be held?  I was told by a friend

|        The fireworks were held at the end of June and beginning of July
    at Ontario Place in Toronto.  I'm not sure who won.

|     I would like to make a few corrections here...
    
    The original INTERNATIONAL FIREWORKS COMPETITION is held in MONTREAL
    at the beginning of the summer.
    
    About 6 to 7 different countries present their fireworks (All musical)
    and are evaluated.
    
    There is a listing of the winners:
    
    	1st	SPAIN
    	2nd 	GERMANY
    	3rd	USA
    or something like that (Maybe not in this order).
    
    Maybe TORONTO wants all the fame, but MONTREAL has alot to show...
    
    WEE.

|     The Benson and Hedges International is the event held in Montreal.
    The Benson and Hedges Symphony of Fire, the international fireworks
    display, was held between June 25 and July 10. The countries
    participating were Canada, Italy, France, and the U.K.  Sorry, I don't
    know for sure, but I believe that France won.
