Photos and Footage - July 4 in Springfield

Springfield, Illinois' July 4 fireworks display went on as planned, despite low cloud cover and high probability of precipitation.

This year's display cost about $20,000, according to the State Journal-Register.

Crowd reaction was much stronger and more positive than last year's event - a "low-level" display which was encumbered by foliage and buildings, leaving many spectators disappointed.

In other news, The Horseshoe now has a YouTube channel, which features video taken of the display. You can take a look at the clip here, in this post, or by visiting the YouTube channel.
