Need help finding Floating/Flying Lanterns

[Waveraider]

I told my Grand Daughter that I woulf get some of those Floating/Flying Lanterns to light up on the 4th of July. Does anyone know where I can find those locally?

If you dont know what they are thay are the paper baloons that have a candle inside. Light the candle, and after the air gets hot inside the lantern, it rises like a hot air ballon. Very cool!

Sky Lanterns. Most of the fireworks stores carry them. $6 or so, better deals on the net. We love them, they are truly beautiful and last for quite a while.

Menards also sells them. It's over by their outdoor section. We have one. do they just burn up in the air or will it land in someone's yard and they will cuss whoever put the thing up? We have one and I was thinking of hooking up a very long fishing line to it on one of my reels so as it burns out I could bring it back home.

The sky lanterns are illegal up here(Minnesota).They have caused more than a few forest fires.Yet you can still buy them at nearly every fly by night fireworks dealer in the state.

I've heard they're available at any of the dollar stores although I've never been to one so can't confirm.
