Gwinnett County has decided to not have a fireworks celebration this year.
The costs associated with the event run about $200,000, and usually about $85,000 is handled by corporate sponsorships. Because the event has lost so many sponsors, the annual fireworks display in Lawrenceville will not take place in 2009.
You can read about this in several local news sources:
