The Salisbury Festival kicked off at 6 PM on Friday and ended late yesterday. Louise Smith stated there would be some 25,000 people attending the event. They also celebrated Pete Cooper's 100th Birthday at the event where Congressman Frank Kratovil presented him with a proclamation from Congress on his 100th Birthday and his service within the state of Maryland.
I wonder how many people think it is worth what the tax payers shovel out for it.
ReplyDelete9:44 am It's worth every penny.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't agree, stay at home like you usually do.
I asked a question, I didnt make a statement. I wasnt at home. Oh Ill do whatever I want.
ReplyDeleteThe only way to answer the (QUESTION) is a survey question.
ReplyDeleteWho did that 25,000 estimate and is it bogus?
ReplyDeleteMove it to Winter Place Park
ReplyDeleteLike so many things affected by this economy, the Festival looked as though it there weren't as many people as in the past. There were deffinatly more police to insure that nothing negative happened, thanks to Chief Barkly, but it does appear that between Pork in the park and other events that serve a social get-togethers we should have adjusted with the times to forgo the festival.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the actual tax payer money spent?
ReplyDeleteIt was a blast. The music was awesome & it was so good to see people having a good time downtown.
ReplyDeleteIt does not need to be moved to Winterplace. Why the heck nothing is kept downtown is beyond me. the Plaza was created for just such things but is barely used even during the Salisbury Festival. Let's have more things downtown.
ReplyDeleteI remember when my old business was a vendor there, it wasn't like they just let us camp out there for free..... all the vendors pay a substantial permit fee to be a part of the festival, therefore the county makes plenty of money back off its investment
