It would seem that even the 4th July celebrations are being hit by the economic climate as central Florida residents will see shorter fireworks shows and less entertainment at some of today's July Fourth celebrations. Financial constraints have forced some Central Florida Orlando communities to scale back on its Independence Day gatherings. Orlando has cut its fireworks display at Lake Eola Park down from 20 to 15 minutes, an official was reported as saying.
Apparently those 5 minutes will save the city about $8,500, said Heather Allebaugh, public information officer for the city. However despite the 5-minute cut in the display, officials have said they expect a much higher turnout this year because the holiday falls on Saturday.
The official word from the mayors office was; "It's going to be a little bit shorter in length, but it's still going to be impressive." In addition "The city felt it was important to still do this because it's a community function that people have built their 4th of July weekend around."
