Fireworks stands feel the pinch and the boom at Boom City
As Boom City near Marysville rides a long Fourth of July weekend, organizers and vendors note mixed demand amid a weak economy. Firework sales across the nation edge up slightly to 960 million in 2009, with Indian reservation sales excluded. Communities cancel or scale back displays due to funding cuts, while neighborhoods may boost backyard celebrations. Local operators report a slower Tuesday and anticipate a busy holiday stretch, hoping customers pool funds for larger shows.
