WASHINGTON, June 23 (UPI) -- Summer festivals in Bismarck, Mo., San Francisco, East Boston, Mass., and Toledo, Ohio, have been called off due to the poor U.S. economy, officials say.
The Freedom Fest in Bismarck, the town of 1,535's Fourth of July celebration, has been canceled because it couldn't cough up the $10,000 in costs, USA Today reported Tuesday.
