Comments 0 | Recommend 0The economy putting the breaks on many 4th of July celebrations.
Even with gas prices about $1.50 cheaper per gallon then they were last year, many people we spoke with say they simply don't have the cash to hit the road this weekend.

"I'm just gonna stay around here. The economy is really bad so travelling and stuff is just not gonna happen," said Heather Hulsebos.

The state wide average is $2.65 a gallon.
