BOGO Fireworks Sale!
Since 1976, there has been more than a 90% increase in consumer firework safety.  That makes this a great time to start thinking beyond the "traditional" fireworks holidays like the Fourth of July and use these never-been-safer fireworks to enhance other holidays, too.

With Halloween just around the corner, October is a great time to add a little BOOM to your "Boo," and Golf Ball Outlet and Fireworks Mega Store would love to help you do just that! This month, we are offering a BOGO deal on a variety of our most popular products.  That's right-- when you buy any of the fireworks listed on our BOGO page you can get another of equal or lesser value for free!

We have a wonderful selection for you to choose from, but we'd like to offer you a few recommendations to help get you started:

  • Killer Bees- This update on an old classic is a fan favorite.  This is a cylinder fountain that gives off a fantastically colorful swarm of bees effect when you light it.  With these whistling bees whizzing past you, your spectators will be too spellbound to worry about anything else going bump in the night this Halloween.
  • Tail Gator- This repeater firework is a mini fireworks show in just one 200 gram cake.  With colorful explosions followed by a flurry of crackles, this firework will have your spectators oohing and ahhing long after the display is done!
  • That's Your Problem- Add a bit of color to your All Hallow's Eve with this 7 shot showcasing whistling swirling tails that explode into multi-shaped stars in various colors and finally dissolve with a cackle... err... crackle! 
  • Executioner- This one's a real show stopper! Executioner is a 9 shot aerial that shoots multicolored brocades and chrysanthemums.  And with a sizzling, electrifying finish, you'll definitely want to make sure that Executioner is a part of your fireworks show!

Ghosts, Ghouls, & Fireworks
Everyone knows that fireworks are a MUST for celebrating the 4th of July and the start of a New Year.  But few people have considered how fireworks can enhance the celebration of some other holidays as well.  Halloween is a great  (but often overlooked) occasion for fireworks! Disney World is already holding yearly Halloween fireworks displays, and there's no reason that families can't also get in on the fun.  

Halloween fireworks can certainly add a unique flair to the season's spooky scenes.  You may find a few specific types of fireworks to be especially exciting at your ghoulish gatherings this Halloween:


  • Crazy Eyeballs- Eyeballs are a classic element in Halloween decor.  Now you can expand on that theme with these spooky sparklers.  These disembodied eyeballs spin around and have a big finish that will provide onlookers with a (safe) scare or two.
  • Color Smoke Balls- Another great way to add to the haunted atmosphere of your Halloween season is with these clay color smoke balls.  They come in a variety of colors so you can use classic Halloween orange, a witchy purple, or a monster green to add some color to your night.
  • Sky Lanterns- These sky lanterns will seem to literally levitate as you release them into the night sky.  When you light and release your sky lantern, it will remain airborne for as long as its flame is lit.  Afterwards, the completely biodegradable lantern will just as magically float back down to the ground. Sky lanterns come in many different colors and some even come with season-appropriate designs such as pumpkin jack-o-lanterns, aliens, and witches.

Halloween fireworks are a great way to encourage family bonding, teach safety, and create lasting memories for everyone involved.  For all your fireworks needs, remember that you can rely on Golf Ball Outlet and Fireworks Mega Store, South Carolina's premiere fireworks outlet.
Wedding Sparklers - A Fantastic Way to Brighten Up Your Wedding
Long the favorite starter for fireworks displays, sparklers are gaining popularity as wedding favors.  Wedding sparklers can be used to create brilliant archways for the wedding couple to walk through, light the way in processions, and even create a glittering brilliance atop a wedding cake.  You can also use them to build up to a fireworks finale or to occupy restless little ones.  Traditional gold sparklers are safe to use indoors, allowing you to bring the festivities inside when used carefully.

No longer considered fireworks but instead a novelty, sparklers are legal in nearly every state.  Check your local regulations to be sure before purchasing because some areas still prohibit their use.


Choosing Sparklers
Traditional sparklers emit a glorious golden glow and little smoke, making them the most versatile type of sparkler.  Modern sparklers offer a wider range of colors, including green, blue and red, but tend to release a bit more smoke and are not suited to indoor use.

Wedding sparklers are available in a variety of lengths, including 8”, 10”, 20” and 36”.  Shorter sparklers are better for using on cakes because they burn quickly.  Choose a longer length, such as 36”, to help coordinate a large display of sparklers.  Since they burn longer, 20” and 36” wedding sparklers can be used to create temporary lighting on pathways.

Two common types of sparklers are metal and bamboo.  Metal sparklers are sturdier and burn more evenly, but may be difficult to light if exposed to moisture in the manufacture process, so avoid sparklers with signs of rust.  Bamboo sparklers can be more prone to breaking when waved vigorously, but have the benefit of leaving less waste behind.


Using Sparklers
Everyone can enjoy using sparklers, from children to adults.  Follow these simple safety rules to ensure a safe and fun time:
  • Keep lit sparklers at arm’s length until they burn out
  • Never wave a sparkler near someone’s face or eyes
  • Supervise small children at all times to prevent injuries
  • Never light multiple sparklers at once
Sparklers are best lit with a lighter, butane torch or if available, built in strikers on the box.  Matches blow out too easily to light wedding sparklers, even in calm weather conditions.

Wedding sparklers can add a completely new element to your wedding celebrations, and give guests of all ages a way to participate in the festivities.
