Abstract

A connector for glow sticks having first and second engaging members for engaging first and second ends of a glow stick. Positioned above the engaging members is a display area for the display of advertising or other information. The engaging members are typically shaped to fit the generally cylindrical glow stick. The ends of the glow stick are inserted into the engaging members, allowing the glow stick to function as a necklace or bracelet while displaying advertising, for example the logo of the sponsor of an event the user is attending.
