Fireworks on the Fourth of July are as old as the country itself. And according to the American Pyrotechnics Association there could be as many as 16,000 firework displays dazzling the skies this Independence Day.That includes Chad Stanley s nationally recognized Kaboom Town fireworks show in Addison, Texas, just outside Dallas.Stanley has been working on this show for more than a decade and says you can t focus on the length of time.
