Cancellation of Mount Rushmore's July 3 fireworks show was considered due to dry conditions, but it was decided at 9 PM to proceed. 5,200 shells and pyrotechnics were used in the 27 minute show. The fireworks were preceded by a day filled with music and dance for visitors at the park. The finale for events in the nation's capitol was musical events, with cannon fire by the U.S. Presidential Salute Battery, and a fireworks display. The Boston Pops 2007 event was on the Esplanade in Boston, with a concert preceding a fireworks display. In recent years, more and more Americans have gained interests in setting off their own fireworks. Consumer fireworks are banned in many places due to their perceived dangers, but fireworks enthusiasts cite that fireworks are safe when used properly. According to the CPSC, the amount of imported fireworks have roughly tripled during the last 10 years, while the rate of injuries has gone down.
