Wedding Sparklers
May 17th, 2012
Many couples today are celebrating their wedding with fireworks. One of the easiest ways to add sparkle to your special day is with wedding sparklers. Wedding sparklers are much more exciting for sending off the bride and groom than the traditional rice or bird seed which is commonly used. Sparklers also make for better memories and better photographs!

What You Should Know About Fireworks Safety
Fireworks
can help make holidays, special occasions, and celebrations even more
fun and memorable. But before your family celebrates, make sure everyone
knows about the following fireworks safety tips.
Fireworks Law
February 20th, 2012
Fireworks fall into two general categories: display fireworks, also known as 1.3G and consumer fireworks, 1.4G. In the United States, the Federal government has assigned regulation of fireworks laws to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Each branch has different areas of responsibility for fireworks laws.
History of Fireworks
February 10th, 2012
Most of us associate fireworks with the 4th of July and New Year’s celebrations. We have come to expect a fireworks show at concerts, during the Super Bowl and at other festive events. And while most of us have some personal experience with fireworks, whether it is a sparkler, a firecracker, or a larger cake, the majority of us have no idea about the history of fireworks or why they have come to be so closely connected with celebrations.
The History of Firecrackers
February 8th, 2012
When I hear the word “firecracker”, I automatically think of the Fourth of July and other celebrations where noisemakers make everything more exciting. The loud bang and pop, the smell of smoke in the air, and the pieces of paper left over in the aftermath remind me of fun times spent with friends and family.
Simply put, firecrackers are pyrotechnic composition wrapped in paper or plastic with a fuse. When the fuse is lit, the heat causes the compounds to react, creating pressure that eventually explodes. The loud bang is the result of the wrapper being blown apart.
