Was that Pie in the Sky? No, it was Cake!

You may be seeing the fireworks stands popping up earlier this year thanks to a new law passed by the legislature that allows sale of fireworks 30 days prior to Independence Day. This could create a whole new way to celebrate Flag Day and Father's Day.

This new law has also legalized a type of fireworks previously unavailable to residents in the state of Utah. It is commonly called "cake" and shoots 150 feet in the air! If past prohibitions have kept you from competing for the title of "Cul de sac of Fire", this may be your year.

But a word of warning: check out the risks of handling these pyrotechnical devices and take precautions. Those who sell these products are required to give warnings to those who purchase them but you can get information in advance. A May 10th article on KSL.com is a good starting place. Set down clear rules with your children about fireworks too. Let's hope we all enjoy happy and safe summer celebrations this year!
