Most Successful Festival Ever - Record Breaking Year

Over the next several weeks we will hear these words many times. The chairpersons will be patting each other on the back for a job well done. In all fairness, many many people worked extremely hard to make this event a success. Ultimately though, success is not measured only by gross income.

Before we all get excited and are convinced we need to drink the kool aid, let's sit back and wait for the expenses to roll in. Let's see if making exclusive agreements for our products was in the best interest of the community. Let's also wait and see if the problems that arose over the weekend are addressed in an open manner or if we are again left in the dark. Time will tell. In the meantime, we would be best served to wait and see what unfolds.
