Mark your calendars and begin preparing now. July 4, 2009 shall mark the official opening games of the first annual Sparkler Olympics.
The phoenomenal Ms. Amy Hill absolutely made my day yesterday by buying me sparklers. We were outside enoying them when someone was struck by the ingenious concept of Sparkler Olympics.
The events and judging criteria (so far) are listed below. Additional suggestions for events are welcome. I plan to have a megaphone on hand for commentary, placards for the judges, and plenty of booze to quench accidental flames. Amy's already reserved rights to the song "Coming to America". Participants will be awarded extra points if they perform in costume, but inappropriate appearances in leotards will result in harsh deductions. You have been warned.
Synchronized Sparkling:
Precision
Patriotism

Sparkler Relay:
