Don’t Judge a Firework By Its Cover

We as people, shop with our eyes. We immediately go for what is most visually appealing to us. I myself am guilty of putting back dented cans at the grocery store, even though the product inside is just fine.

Over the years, I have come find to that the old saying “you can’t judge a book but its cover” perfectly describes numerous items on our fireworks shelves. Beautiful fireworks wrapped up in not so beautiful paper, but like the dented can at the grocery store, goodness still lies within.

Three such items at the castle include, Contraband, Denied, and our 16 Shot Small Festival Ball multi-action cake. These three are the perfect example of exceptional performance coupled with poor marketing.

I challenge you to look beyond the ugly duckling of a package to see the beautiful swan that truly lies within. Big breaks, stunning color, and sizzling effects to enhance your fireworks display. Don’t miss out on these wonderful items! You’ll be glad you loaded them into your cart.

When You’re Not Sure What To Get….

Allow me to pose a question. Have you ever shopped at a firecracker stand and picked up an assortment? You were so excited because it had a little of everything, but when you went to shoot the items, some of them were crushed or wouldn’t light and frustration then set in because you were out money on defective fireworks.

If you answered “yes”, I have good news for you. Here at The Castle of Muskogee, you don’t ever have to fear being dissatisfied with your assortment purchase.

NEW! NEW! NEW!

While carrying all of your traditional fireworks favorites, The Castle of Muskogee prides itself on offering new and exciting items from various brands, such as Black Cat, Fireworks Over America, Brothers, Winda and more. This year is no exception.

In the Garden Room, there are over twenty brand new 350 and 500-gram cakes featuring amazing colors and effects, including Wild Imagination by Fireworks Over America. This exceptional cake features 16 shots of amazing pastel colors.

In the Great Hall, we are offering something new for patrons of all ages, including Brothers Pyrotechnics Icebird, our Think Pink smoke, numerous fountains, roman candles, and several new multi-action cakes.

My personal favorite item on the floor this year, is a unique multi-action cake by Winda called Confetti Cake. Every other multi-action that I have seen shoots a volley of explosions into the air for the viewer to witness beautiful shots of everything from glitter and crackles to mines and fish. This particular cake offers none of that. Instead, it shoots out massive streamers of red, yellow, green and blue.

Found in our parachute section, this item is sure to tickle our youngest of patrons as they can run and grab up the streamers without them escaping as a parachute can.

No matter what your favorite type of firework, The Castle of Muskogee is sure to have the perfect item for you. Be it an old time favorite, or something brand new and never seen before. Our goal is to make sure that you leave with exactly what you want, with the guarantee that only we can provide. If your item fails to light, bring it back on July 5th with your receipt and we will make it right, be it a refund, or a replacement item. Come and check out our new items! There are only 14 more shopping days left for this fireworks season.

A Fireworks Blog?

When I was a kid, I was the anti-firework kid in our family. Give me some snappers, sparklers and snakes and that was the extent of my involvement. In 2010, I decided to join the Castle Fireworks staff to make a little extra money over the summer. In that first year, I went from having nothing to do with them, to thinking about product, selling and displays almost all year round.

As I have come to learn more about the different products, I also have come to learn more about the professionalism of the company that I sell for. The quality of service and how it’s not just about coming and buying fireworks, but it’s about a shopping experience. The Hiller family has provided retail fireworks to the Muskogee area for over 60years, but Before The Castle, the fireworks sales started at Children’s House, offering the patron an air-conditioned and humidified venue, a huge selection, and a guarantee on all fireworks. Every item sold has been fired and tested to ensure that product’s excellence.

Children’s House is still a tradition for many families in Muskogee enjoy every year, and if an item can’t be found on the shelves there, the Castle is just a short drive away. With around 500 items to choose from, with brands you can trust, The Castle and Children’s House just can’t be beaten.

Not only do you get quality products, a unique shopping experience, and an indoor venue to beat the heat or the rain when shopping at The Castle, our active military personnel receive a discount with their military ID AND with every $50, a free ticket to the opening weekend of Haunted Festival, a $10 value is given.

All of this brings me back to the original question of, “A fireworks blog?”. The purpose of this blog is to give every customer or potential customer of The Castle insightful information regarding what products we sell and the history of the brands, how to navigate effects and descriptions, reviews of items that I have personally shot, and the opportunity to get to know the fireworks staff. It is a place where you, the reader, are able to share the products you love with me so that I, in turn, can share with the blog universe. Fireworks do not have to just be talked about in July, they are an ever-changing product and a “blast” to talk about any time of year.
