Bike rentals and fireworks

...even the sparklers are risky now.

A friend of mine in Niceville lit a sparkler for his kids a couple of years ago. It flared suddenly and turned into a little mini-fireball. Third degree burns, multiple surgeries and his hand still doesn't work right.

Seaside will have a big fireworks display again this year.

It was quite spectacular last year - they shot the fireworks from a barge in the gulf. Enjoy!

Any recommendations on when to arrive on the beach for fireworks? My husband will try to convince me that we can just see them from the beach where we are in BMB and I like to be up close so I don't miss any details! That's just how I am. Do any other beach communities have fireworks displays?

The big displays are in Baytowne Wharf and Seaside. From most anywhere on the beaches in SoWal, you will see a huge show of fireworks from people all over the beach. Some are huge and I would guess, illegal. Just don't sit close to the people lighting them. From most anywhere on our beaches of SoWal, you should be able to see the displays in PCB and Destin, although you don't hear the boom. The shows will usually begin following dusk, maybe around 7:45pm at the earliest. Go early and enjoy the sunset.

Does anyone know what the county decided regarding fireworks. They were meeting this afternoon to decide whether they were going to ban or allow them.

OK. I have answered my own question.

Headlines in todays Daily News:

Walton bans fireworks ? but only those already outlawed in Florida

Does anyone other than me find that headline a bit strange? I mean, if they are already outlawed, then ........

exactly. most of the fireworks you see being shot on the beach are illegal. I think the law in FL states that the fireworks must not be projectiles (or something like that) .

So, now I wonder, are they issuing any permits? Since they are not illegal??

To be issued a permit, one must first apply. The Sheriff's Dept will have plenty to worry about with all of the drunk drivers.
