Show me someone who doesn't think fireworks are awesome, and I'll show you someone who doesn't love America, and freedom, and gun powder. But as awesome as they are, fireworks can also be pretty damn dangerous.

Kids love them, and men feel extra manly setting them off. But the goal is always to have fun, not end up in the hospital. Despite all the videos out there showing knuckleheads getting blown up (like the compilation below)...there are new knuckleheads each year that do really stupid stuff with fireworks.

That's where the professionals at MARK'S FIREWORKS come in. They are kind enough to offer a FREE fireworks safety session this Saturday at the Vanderburgh Co. 4-H Fairgrounds. The Fireworks Safety sessions start at 7pm and will teach you how to put on a safe backyard show. Mark’s Fireworks is offering free giveaways to the first 100 people. A huge fireworks demo will follow.

Mark Hisle says: “We want the community to have fun during the fireworks season, but want them to know how to be safe with fireworks while putting on a good show for their neighborhood. Church and neighborhood groups that put on displays are all invited.”

For more information, visit their website or call Mark Hisle at 812-402-8275.
