No Downtown Mpls. Fireworks This New Year's

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ― A New Year's Eve tradition has come to an end in downtown Minneapolis.

The annual fireworks over the Mississippi River have been canceled.

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board decided to cancel the Dec. 31 fireworks because of declining attendance in recent years, said Dawn Sommers, a spokeswoman for the board.

However, fireworks were scheduled for midnight at Buck Hill, a ski hill in Burnsville.
