In the previous post we discussed how to dress a fairway for Night Golf. Here we are now going to address the green. Here special attention has to be placed on outlining the edges of the green so the golfer know where the nice low grass ends and the rough grass begins. To do this we begin by outlining the green in 6″ premium glow sticks laid on the border.
Now some are going to remember in my previous article that I steered you away from simply laying down glow. The difference here is that the grass is cut low on the inside of the green thereby removing the possibility of the glow being hidden by the grass. Secondly you’re not going to put up any erect glow sticks since they could deflect a well placed wedge shot. And lastly it looks amazing to have the entire green outlined in these sticks, almost calling the golfer to it.
As for the cup itself you are going to want to use one of our Deluxe Glow Bracelets to put in the whole. While taking up almost no space itself, it releases a huge amount of glow that seems to just emanate from the whole calling the ball in.
The pin can be dressed in several different manners. You can attach several glow necklaces to it, LED necklaces, or our newest item the lumi-ton! Whats great about the lumi-ton is that youc an choose a color setting or have it rotate through the colors, drawing even more attention to it.
When you’re done the green should look something like this:
All the suggestions above work best with the Night Flyer CL golf ball. See it in action once and you’ll never forget it!

Okay, you know that Night Golf is the new hit thing. You’ve even already gone out and bought your Night Flyer Constant Light golf balls. That way the golfer can hit a solid real golf ball of light and always find it.
But now you’re wondering how they’ll see the rest of the course. Do you have to buy large amounts of flood lights? NO! Do you have to get tons of tiki torches to illuminate the area? NO!, besides being unsafe it simply isn’t practical to have open flames every where that need to be refilled with oil.
Instead use safe, bright, and efficient GLOWING area markers from Night Flyer Golf. Follow these tips and you’ll have an amazing looking course for night golf:
Begin by outlining the fairway with Green area marker glow sticks, these are 10″ sticks that come with ground spikes for this specific purpose. Using normal glow sticks and having them simply lay in the ground is not as good since the low lying grass will obstruct the view and you are only getting a side profile instead of 10″ standing straight up.
Space the glow sticks about every 10-20 yards, remember the closer together they are the more uniform your fairway will look.
Mark water hazards with Blue area markers to alert the golfer where to avoid. Here it is important to do the entire perimeter of the pond, or both sides of a creek. The reason is that you want the golfer to know where all the edges of the water are, where they have to hit the ball to avoid it, and where its safe to traverse.
If it is a creek or river that you’re identifying then you should also mark where the bridge or walkway is that they’re going to want to use. For this use White area markers on both ends of the walkway / bridge to guide the golfers to continue golfing.
Next you’re going to want to outline all sand traps and hazards with Red area markers. This striking distinction will alert all golfers where to avoid placing their shot.
Finally you should ouline the green with Green 6″ glow sticks as well, almost as landing strip for where the golfer wants to end up.
When you’re finished your fairway should look something like this photo below. In our next post we’ll discuss how to outfit a green to highlight the whole, and impress the golfer.
Children love to dress up and pretend (the benefits of which can be read about here), sometimes even taking some of their Mom’s jewelry or make up to help their imaginations. And this is great, except for the fact that sometimes you don’t want them playing with your heirloom ring or even your own costume jewelry because it could hurt them.
Well what if you could give them light-up jewelry that not only lets them make pretend, but also is a cool accessory for just going out with the other kids? Well now you can!
Windy City Novelties, Inc. has tons of great LED light up items in the form of rings, necklaces, bracelets, hair pins and much much more. Its always amazing to me when I see the local neighborhood children running around at night with our light up jewelry adorned everywhere.
And don’t think these are just for little kids, teens and even college aged love light up jewelry too, they wear it for parties, to the club, or even just when its the girls going out!

So you’re going to have a movie themed party and want to get all your favorite characters there to help with creating the scene. Well most of us aren’t Steven Spielberg, and can’t have the likes of Darth Vader, Marilyn Monroe or the Three Stooges appear at our beckon call. But instead we can all get them to not only come to our movie themed parties but stand still and pose for photos for almost eternity!

Night Golf is a fun new way to play an old favorite sport. What makes it possible is our patented Illuminated Golf Ball called the Night Flyer™ CL. CL for Constantly Lit. Looking at the ball you’d think that it was as normal as anything else.
Give the Night Flyer™ good hit however and you’ll quickly be amazed at what you’ll see. A solid streak of light through the night sky! With every hit triggers a micro computer with 2 high powered LED lights inside the golf ball. What’s great is that this light is on a timer, meaning it will last for between 8 and 10 minutes with every hit. What’s even better is that the computer inside the balls is an intelligent computer and knows not to turn off the light so long as it’s hit every 8 minutes.
While some might say, 8 minutes isn’t all that long, it really its. Think about it, hitting a ball every 8 minutes means that a par 4 whole is taking you over 32 minutes to complete, or about 9 hours for an 18 hole round of golf!!! No one, not even a the slowest golfer on earth takes that long. Plus add the fact that this is not a one outing wonder, you can play a round with the ball, pick it up and play again some other day!
And don’t be fooled this is a real REGULATION size and weight golfball with a multi-layer surlyn coating with an 80 compression ratio. This ball will fly true and roll true, A REAL GOLF BALL.
No blinking, no on again off again, No glow stick to fall out and never be seen again, real honest to goodness solid light emanating from the ball itself.
What’s also a huge improvement here is that the Night Flyer™ comes in 5 different colors: White, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow
Besides night golf the Night Flyer™ is also fantastic for twilight hours at the end of a round when the sun is setting and yet you want to finish your round.

Some might think that serving trays are simple functional items that are a necessity to the service industry. Well you’re only partly right. To tell you the truth there is nothing simple about how you load up a serving tray. You have to balance it when you load it up, and when you take items off of it. Forgetting to think about weights can send a whole tray of high priced cocktails to the floor.
But I always thought to myself, why is it that the drinks can be dressed up while the trays arent? Well not any more. Introducing our line of LED and EL lite-up serving trays.
My personal favorite is the LED model, with the lights changing in a never ending array that is sure to memorize and impress your patrons. The lighted serving trays come with a 2 x AA battery pack with batteries installed, and easily changed for long term use. Also each tray has a no slip material added so that your drinks stay on the serving tray and not on the customers lap.
Please do not be confused by our EL lighted trays, these are not Neon bulbs. Those trays found in bars in the early nineties, were heavy and easily breakable and required large amounts of batteries. EL is a simple cord that lights up when the phosphorous is excited by electrons, they still run on AA batteries and can take a large amount of abuse.

We’ve gotten a couple phone calls recently asking to order the banners by phone. Because these are customized banners we can not take your order in this manner. You have to visit the website and place it online.
The reason for this is that we want you to see the actual banner just as it will come to you. The system is completely automated so that when you type in what you want to say our Mega Super Uber Cool machine automatically prints it, cuts it, and grometizes it (puts the brass rings in the corners for hanging).
Watch this video to learn how to MAKE YOUR OWN BANNER!
The main ingredient to hosting a successful house party is three simple words: Planning Planning Planning! No seriously, a party can succeed or fail before even the first guest arrives.
Be festive by including decorations or even customized banners for House Party.
First, for a house party invite your friends and neighbors (this is especially crucial since they are the ones that can get your party in trouble if you get too loud, inviting them makes them feel like they were included), decide before hand if you want to let friends bring guests or to keep it just to who you invite. Any party can get out of hand if too many people show up.
A great way to keep track of if the people at the party were invited or if they were able to sneak in is with neon paper wrist Bands. You know, the type you have to cut them to get them off. Like these:
Second, decide on what people are going to do for food and drinks. It doesn’t matter if its sodas, a keg, or even wine and cocktails as long as your prepared for the quantity needed. For beer or sodas assume everyone will drink about 4 servings, this takes care of those that drink a few sips and then forget about their cups, and those that have one and call it quits.
Third , clean your place and remove anything that is a) valuable, b) breakable, or c) you’d be upset if it was broken; you never know when crazy Dave will accidently topple over a vase etc. Also have plenty of garbage receptacles around the house, so your guests can help clean up during the event by throwing away garbage instead of leaving it around.
If you don’t want to have to worry about lots of garbage use cups or plates that people will want to hold on to, and not just throw away. Some good examples are Glowing cups, Glow knives and forks, or even themed paper plates that people will want to keep on using.
Fourth, organize music or entertainment. I’ve been to some pretty cool parties that have had DJ’s, a local band playing, or even Poi / glow stick twirlers. People come to socialize, but they also want to have something neat going on the side.
Fifth, having games prepared can also be fun. These can be as simple as bean bag tosses, frisbee, a limbo line or any other easy to plan game. While it might sound lame, having some games ready can help keep a party from loosing it’s ‘mojo‘
Some other pointers: Never let anyone drive home who has been drinking, or who hasn’t waited atleast an hour for every alcoholic drink. Find out what your city’s noise regulations are. Be mindful that neighbors might not be on the same schedule as you so be sure to invite or at least inform them (see 1 above).
Besides all this be safe and have fun, it is after all a party!
