I was rather shocked that Yelp had the incorrect location for this business…read more I am not shocked that there aren't many reviews in South Carolina, at least in this area. Man, I stuck out around here pretty bad. The locals could smell "city folk". Even worse they could smell a "damn yankee." Despite that and my North Carolina license plate I rolled down the way and came here. I recall looking this place up online from various searches and was surprised at this place. It was like a frigging warehouse full of fireworks from top to bottom. Now normally I wouldn't give a place five stars because it's impressive........but I will give it because of awesome customer service. In 2004 and 2005 I purchased loads of fireworks here. I had my trunk full and a 5 foot long duffel bag full of them in my back seat. The only reason why I did so much repeat business (3 trips in 2 weeks each year) is because of the service. The guy who watched the place must have been 21 years old at the time. I was looking for some good mortar shells and I asked his opinion. He brought me out to the parking lot and just said "listen and watch." He ended up lighting one off right on the street next to the road and it was the loudest legal mortar I've heard. (Excalibur 2003-2005 edition btw). When I informed him of my desire of semi-wholesale prices he lowered the cost drastically on everything I purchased. He gave me free bottle rockets, saturn missles, a box or two of the mortar shells. This is all due to the fact that I spent a pretty penny. I wish I had that money back..........but man...........2004 was an awesome year at my family's 4th of July. 65 minutes of non-stop action set up on 10 different stations, 3 different racks and only one mishap. (Loaded a shell upside down causing one of my racks to blow up and send wood and nails flying at me and my uncle........woops!) Hit this place up if you're in NC. You may not get the best prices like you used to, but this is a good business.

When we visited there was a film in the special exhibit room, and another film in the larger room. Both were informative. The battlefield trail also has a few benches throughout and a few signs to read. Part of the trail is paved, part is gravel. Total trail length was about a mile, mostly a flag and easy walk. I recommend the stop if you're in the area.

I believe we picked up SKY CANDY & WILD FIRE, good choices for first time FIREWORK-ers.

In North Carolina, It's those cool crisp April evenings and hot humid August nights that make this a great place to watch a ball game. The low A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, the Crawdads have seen their share of baseball talent move up the minor league ladder. And that means Hickory and the surrounding area has a chance to see THE SHOW'S future. Very affordable tickets, fine enough concessions (maybe the best hot dog I've had at any minor league park!), family fun with games and a carousel, concerts after games and let's not forget Thirsty Thursdays and Fireworks weekends! Sometimes as game time nears, the sun is low in the western sky, the air is clear and off to the north you see the mountain profiles and understand why they'er called the Blue Ridge. Just then the ump yells PLAY BALL and ALL is right with the world.
