In 1957, Jim Casey won his case before the SC Supreme Court to keep fireworks legal in South Carolina. After a local Sherriff tried to ban Jim Casey and all fireworks retailers from selling fireworks in SC Jim won the the case.
Today, thanks to the efforts of Jim Casey, fireworks continue to be a tradition in Columbia, South Carolina. Casey’s Fireworks is still a family business, with a Mega Selection, open since 1949.
