This as at Marquise Knox, an amazing blues band and no one was there. (above)
They were so dumb, they forgot to put up lighting for the main stage. They were forced to close it down. They could've rented lighting to illuminate that area, but didn't.
I could not believe the hype the local media was creating for this event while it was happening but I hope all of you caught what they were saying, HUNDREDS of people, not thousands or tens of thousands. They continued to repeat there were only hundreds.
Incompetent, that's your Mayor and every city official involved in this event. Many were saying the Mayor completely lucked out that it rained and went on to say they had prayed for clear skies because Day wouldn't have any excuses for this massive failure.
Day and Heath need to be terminated. Taxpayers lost MILLIONS of dollars for this piece of crap event. Call me negative all you want, it sucked. We had more people last night in Trader Lee's then this piece of crap event. Guess what, WE MADE MONEY! I'll guarantee I brought in more money from the sale of tee shirts these past few days then they brought in from the bucket brigade BS.
Here's the final difference. It was MY MONEY at risk, not the taxpayers. "It was your election to lose".
The voters of Salisbury are to blame for their own destruction along with the demise of Salisbury. They allowed this BS and continues to vote in these idiots. They can't complain about their rise in taxes when they allow it and deserve the results of their inaction in the voting booth and the stealing of City property by the slum lords and contractor homeboys.
ReplyDeleteWas this event for the gays of this area? It certainly looks as if it was in my opinion.
ReplyDeletePossible good news -- the NFF officials may be sick and tired of Day and da Bury and go to another town starting next year to avoid another travesty. But that may not happen if they can't find another ignoramus mayor and council.
ReplyDeleteWhat’s the basis for that news?
DeleteJoe,
ReplyDeletePlease do an info request to find out how much this BS is costing Salisbury's taxpayers.
Salisbury as I knew it has been destroyed. Downtown hasn't been restored. Salisbury as I know it, has been torn down and rebuilt to fit thee fools that the city elected. It's now occupied by Gays, Liberal socialists, and crime. I have no desire to live here or the county any longer. I'm old. But maybe I can find enough energy out of this mess called Salisbury, to get the heck out.
ReplyDelete10:30 most of the voters could care less because most do not pay taxes or very little anyway. Salisbury is overwhelmingly rentals and almost all are subsidized by the tax payers. Landlords don't care about wasted tax dollars since they are getting it back from the government.
ReplyDeleteAka slumlord John Cannon.
Delete"10:30 AM The voters of Salisbury are to blame for their own destruction"
ReplyDeleteObviously you didn't vote either or you would know he ran unopposed and won by default. You are an a$$hole and a liar. Typical ignorant uninformed born here.
What do gays have to do with anything ? It was an over blown event that failed. I feel bad for the artist that came to perform and had to smile and make the best of this mess , the vendors that lost money and the poor volunteers that got roped into hours of work. The people that did show up are so desperate and starved for something interesting to do around here they over looked all the BS and failure.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why people keep blaming voters in Salisbury. Whether people voted or not he was still going to be mayor as no one ran against him
ReplyDelete@10:30 that's day, Ireton, and glantz plans. They want to "change" Salisbury and after the three year folk festival it will be touted as lesbian/gay event. Get ready Salisbury this idiot has a so called twenty year plan to transform Salisbury.
ReplyDeleteThis idiot will bankrupt Salisbury
ReplyDeleteThat's what they want AKA Socialism.
Delete10:58 AM another idiotic born here comment and you obviously failed math and business classes.
ReplyDeleteTaxes are factored into to rent payments so a portion of each and every rent check is a tax payment to the landlord who forwards it to the government. They also pay sales tax and they pay income tax. Just like the rest of us.
Between you and 10:30 it is absolutely no wonder this place is a craphole ghetto wasteland without a speck of intelligence or class.
Those that bothered to attend the folked fest were obviously of higher intelligence in a desperate search for some form of valuable entertainment and as usual were disappointed from this community of classless brainless narrow thinking small town clowns.
Renters aren't this communities problem, people like you are.
10:55 AM Do it yourself.
ReplyDelete11:01 AMEN!
ReplyDeleteCitizens should demand a cost assessment of the festival.
ReplyDeleteGo to a meeting.
DeleteMy $ has been stolen again...why do i even try to make any $ when i just get robbed.... Atlas Shrugged
ReplyDelete2:06 I listen to you rant about us brainless, classless born hear, and yet you still choose to stay and live among us. If your so superior why do you stay, do us all a favor and go live elsewhere. I am sure somebody somewhere out there will accept you. Until they get to know you that is.
ReplyDelete6:09 PM ha ha ha, pathetic. that all you got? too bad its your usual typical regurgitated come back every time someone tells the truth about your smallsville mentality. Get a new line you've worn that comeback out.
ReplyDelete"Incompetent, that's your Mayor and every city official involved in this event."
ReplyDeleteThat would include John Tull, Gay Day's newly appointed Far Cheef. What a F'n Joke. He could have picked someone better than that Hillbilly. At least it wasn't Jymmie Gladwell.
You can bet that Jimmie “Bootsy” Gladwell was involved. It was screwed up wasn’t it? If it’s screwed up, Gladwell was involved. He would screw up a bowling ball.

You better believe it. When decent people don't step up to the plate and run for office this is what happens.
When these bums living in rental properties keep voting for Democrats this is what you get.
Sometimes I wonder if it would be a good idea to let property owners vote in the city elections. Unfortunately, they would be voting for Democrats to give the their perceived entitlements.
You got fleeced in more ways than one. This fiasco is one of the chief reasons why there’s been so many moving violations issued by SPD. They had a folk festival to pay for and what’s a grand way to raise money? Tickets. Tickets. And more tickets. For the ones so excited about this festival, you got made and played. And you wonder why Salisbury is going down the toilet?
ReplyDeleteGoing ?
