Less than 2 days away and they are still begging for volunteers to beg for money with the Begging Brigade. If they need money to make the 'Festival possible' then why is Jake Day gambling with our tax dollars!! Now he has the media begging with them for volunteers. I smell desperation!
80 comments:
So the event is free, except that they want you to throw in a "suggested $10 donation"...so what, if only a few thousand people show up (like last year) and they don't raise enough in donations to cover the cost...who, exactly, is on the hook to pay for this?
Does Jake really think the visitor from Baltimore, after paying for gas and a place to stay (and the over-priced crap food truck food) is going to happily shell out another 10 bucks to his "bucket brigade"?
This is suck a joke.
Ive been told the bucket brigade has a $10 minimum donation request.
Tell em o yo Wal-Mart north. Lots of professional beggars there, and they work for food. Haha
Bring your own bucket
Hey Jake, the 2 guys pan-handling near the mall will volunteer it if you give them a sandwich
I charge 15
$10.00 donations will be very few if it rains Friday nite
This is standard procedure everywhere the NFF is held.
I’m going to get a blue bucket, slap a NFF label on it and collect me some moneeee!
1:12 It May be standard procedure but it doesn’t make it right.

This isn't the point. The fact of the matter is Jake(you) and his goons have had well over a year to prepare for this event and now they are still begging for volunteers!! WTH!! These people should have been on the schedule already weeks ago.
This just goes to show you that Jake Day and his staff are nothing more than a bunch of misfits that couldn't effectively run a Kool Aid stand!!
So what has Caroline O'Hare been doing the past year and a half? She has proven that she is a complete failure, like her husband, and should have never been hired for the job.
If you remember correctly she was nothing but an office secretary at Wicomico Day school and again Jake Day hired one of his Progressive buddies.
Sadly the voters of this city don't know what the Hell is going on and will still support this idiot and vote for him.
I wonder how many "volunteers" are going to be pocketing some money for themselves?
"Ten dolla fo Jake and 20 dolla fo me."
I saw RINO Anderton out there with a bucket last year. He told me he had a car payment to make.
JAKE PUT THE BUCKET OVER YOUR HEAD AND WALK INTO TRAFFIC.
What happened to"NO PAN HANDLING"???
I can't wait to not attend this politically correct, multicultural, white hating event! I'll attend bike week instead!
Jake Day has got to feel embarrassed about this abortion. I know I would.

That sounds like the best option yet.
I saw "my man" RINO Carl Anderton's taxpayer funded secretary, Kendal Krap, begging for beggers on her Facebook page. I thought Kendal Krap worked for the State of Maryland taxpayers, not the Ghetto'Bury freeloaders!
Jake Day is unemployed and only makes $25,000 per year as da mare of da 'Bury so someting tells me he be keepin sum of dat munny fo himself.
I hate asking people to pay me back the money that they owe me so I know damn well I'm not going out there begging for Jake Day. Screw that bald headed misfit with a face only the mailman would love.
But, But, But.... I thought this was a FREE folk festival.
I get it, it's free just like Crime is down in Salisbury. Wink, Wink!
Admission
The National Folk Festival is a FREE event—you can enjoy the performances, the Maryland Traditions Folklife Area & Stage, and the Pohanka Family Area at no cost. Food, drink and merchandise are available for sale.
Is it public knowledge of what this will cost the City?
Positive attitude is a key part of any success in life, but after watching Jake day constantly taking selfies, posing for pictures and listening to him I pray this will be the worst outcome possible for him and Salisbury. Anyone stupid enough to continually lie about crime and cover up violence and not use necessary resources to ensure public safety needs to fail and fail in a big way. Jake day has another chance and if this festival turns out like the local festival attempt this will be a victory for many of us that are sick of day and his childish behavior
I wonder how many city employees are being forced to attend the foke festival to make it look like there are actually visitors attending?
September 4, 2019 at 1:12 PM
No it is NOT standard procedure. It became a procedure when a town our size took this on and could not pay for it
Another jake koolaid drinker spreading non truths.
If you had 1/2 a brain you would have googled it and found the article where the town said they had no choice but to beg for money to pay for it.
That alone tells you this is not a sustainable event any longer and it needs to be examined.
Bethlehem PA has a 10 music festival that is FREE and no one begs you for money.
Wake up snowflake and leave Smallsbury on occasion.

Who else would know this is "standard procedure everywhere the NFF is held" unless you were intimately connected to the "NFF" like Jake or Caroline?
It's good to know that Jake Day and his miscreants read this blog because I know it stresses them out and takes years off their lives every time they see their name or department mentioned on the blog! ROTFLMAO, I'm Digging it!
As a resident of Wicomico County, I would hope that the County not participate in or spend any monies on this. I don't want to see any county employee involved in this. The City wants it, let them foot the bill. There other needs within the County that need to be addressed. Does anyone know if John Cannon allotted money in the county budget for this Ghetto Fest?
God help us come Sept 6, 2019! THEN help us financially after this fails!
and who is going to pay for putting it on?????
Haven't you people been paying attention? Didn't you watch the County Council meeting? John Cannon is in bed with Jake Day on this. John Cannon is the president of the county council and he was on PAC 14 last night reminding everyone to attend the Folk Festival during his presidential comments. The County should stay out of this mess and give Jake Day all the glory. Don't do it!
What a joke. How about bringing real jobs here that will stay. Enough of the feel-good arts crap, just throwing away money. We need good infrastructure and stability in the job market not fly by night party games. What a joke Jake Day is. Only an idiot would cast a vote for this clown.
The cost to pull this off is unbelievable. Someone should hit up Jake and ask for the figures and tell him to answer Wayne King's FOIA before the election.
Build and set up all the stages and all the material to build them
Sanitation / Trash / Clean up event sites and city surroundings
Staff to run the event
Restrooms
Security
Cost to insure the event
Parking
The list goes on.
and who is paying for this?
I like blues and I like folk music and I don't mind paying to see good music. But what will be played at this event will be a mixture of blues, folk, hip hop and rap. Read the press release carefully and you will agree most of these bands are little known and attach any label to their music that will get them onstage. Also an event of this size will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce, they are claiming this is free.

Typical Democrat rules that don't apply to them.
I wonder if Michele Gregory, Seamus Benn, Jared Schablein, Jake Burdett, James Yamakawa, Fake Pastor John Wright, Ron Pagano, Dan O'Hare, Alex Scott, Mike Hitch, Jackie Welfonder, Amber Green, Molly, Judy Davis, Josh Hastings, Wes Davis and other Socialist friends of Jake's will be out there begging for money and wering their "Black Lives Matters" t-shirts.
Will city workers be forced to work this again?
Maybe it will pour rain this weekend, again, like last year. After all it's rain or shine!
Who even goes to crime city anymore?
Face it DAY you're way in over your head and keep grabbing at straws to bail your ass out.
But Jake Day is doing such great things for Salisbury. A failed Folk Festival certainly isn't one of them.
'm DONE with anything Salisbury does in the future...Gay Pride did me in. Jake is ruining our dear city. I hear Jake Day, Jack Heath and Muir Boda have been talking about banning certain guns in the city after they get re-elected. This comes from a reliable source.
Does anyone even go downtown for anything, unless you're going to see an attorney or going to the courthouse? Seriously. If you go downtown more than once a year please leave your name.
I can't wait to see what type of crowds it draws this year with Jake Day's desperation to advertise in the Baltimore area communities. Jake Day isn't going to stop until he creates a mass catastrophe on the streets of Salisbury catering to all his progressive ghetto following. I can't wait until November and I pray that Jake Day is HISTORY!
I've got an idea this is going to be one of the biggest viewed posts. This should be at the top so we don't have to keep looking for it to read the comments.
Lol. She was the Head Master for one year. It didn’t take other employees of the school long to recognize she was in over her head. One and done thanks to Mrs. Zimmer
How did Andy kitzrow’s escape room idea work out?
Seriously, I see lots of Day campaign signs around town but no Wayne King signs. What are we doing to make Jake and his children a one time only administration??? What say you? Concrete ideas only please.
Why not?? They get paid. HELL they can't do their own Job ANYWAY. Just look around the CITY. If the POS CITY employees would STOP crying and screaming about EVERYTHING and do the FREAKING job for ONCE. For 15 years all CITY employees do is BITCH. DO YOUR FREAKING JOB CRYBABIES.
$10,000.00
Are they keeping track of who brings buckets like panhandlers from all over can bring their buckets.
Getting a good laugh out of these comments!Keep them coming.
Didn’t Homeland Security advise against having it anyway?
September 4, 2019 at 4:46 PM

Thanks for the laugh!
They are only up jakes ass for the selfies. it is almost a contest to see who can get most selfies, jake or jared!
ECI INMATES AT THE 420 ANNEX WILL VOLUNTEER TO DO THE BUCKET BRIGADE...
just call ECI.....
I'm sure the child molesters, and rapists would love to work in Salisbury as volunteers
Where can we get Wayne King signs, I need lots of them
who would put up a Wayne King sign only to have the gay bunch come and run them over or pull them up. You see if i put a sign up and someone come to screw with it well ........ you would be reading about both of us cuse it will be the last one they pull from my yard and i hate to go to jail for it
I was on the net today to see the availability of rooms for this weekend in local hotels etc.
Ten of them had rooms with jacked up prices up to and over $200. These same places are less than $159 other times of the year. Who would spend that kind of money to stay in Salisbury? If the city really wanted people to come and stay and spend money they should have had a meeting with these local motels. Even Motel 6 was high dollar.
I thought the council gave him a raise last year To like $75k? Did that not happen??
Typical Democrats: They want something but want others to pay for it ! ! !

I can tell you I personally have put up signs in yards and the Moose Lodge with consent and KING sings are stolen. So Yeah Jake is scared same thing that happened to Susanna Cain all his signs are stolen so who in the progressives lives out that way?
9:14
Thousands of people are suppose to attend and there are still rooms available? That should tell you something. I remember them saying they expected 60k to 70k the first year..this is the second year and they said they would be expecting 120k to `130k.............and 150k for the third year.
While I understand that the National Folk Festival isn't everyone's cup of tea, I don't understand all of the hate and negativity. If it's not your thing, don't go! Bike Week isn't my thing but I certainly wish no ill on those promoting it and participating in it. Quite the contrary, I hope it's a smashing success as it has been in years past. I hope Joe's new business does well too. Bike Week, the NFF and other cultural events are good for the area and good for the economy. They expose folks to our area who might not have been exposed otherwise. Both are a chance for us to shine and show folks from different areas what we have to offer as a community. Both cost taxpayers. Bike Week requires added police presence, increased SHA and Public Works costs just like the NFF. The only difference is Bike Week is a privately promoted event and the NFF is a publicly promoted event. Either way, both events cost the taxpayer and I think both are worth the price tag.
September 5, 2019 at 7:51 AM,
With all due respect, you are way wrong and way off base here. The folk festival cost the taxpayers money because it is NOT profitable, period. Bike week brings in between 200,000 to 300,000 bikers and mega millions in tax revenue. Every hotel/motel is completely booked for bike week in ALL of Ocean City. Even the mass majority of condo units are booked. Bars and restaurants will bring in mega millions of dollars and please stop kidding yourself attempting to suggest the folk festival is good for Salisbury's economy.
On a positive note, yes, it's great to spread the folk music venue for a very select few people who enjoy such music. Bikers, (on the other hand) enjoy ALL motorcycles. It's not a Harley Bike Week/Fest. It's for everyone. Therefore the folk festival will always be limited. Your elected officials want people to believe it's something it isn't and that's why people are fed up. To top it off, because it's such a financial loss, (now you know why) taxpayers are fed up. Jake Day is pissing away tax payer money for 1% of the population and that's putting good money after bad money. When you are a KID running a multi million dollar business/town this is what you get. It's, (once again) time for a change in leadership.
4:38 There’s also the cost of paving over the intersection at Main Street because the Work wasn’t done in time. Once the festival is over they will rip that up again and finish the work. Great way to spend city tax dollars Jakey boy. 👏🏻👏🏻
The next mayor has filed for those numbers but the city is having trouble calculating it.
I go down there at night and glue "strike anywhere" matches to the backs of all the cockroaches I see. Couple hundred a night.
I'm sorry but I can do without spending time watching oboe players and Jake Day's desperate attempt to be down with the hip hop culture.

I see what you did there. You tried to align a good event with a bad event and tried to convince the brainless, spineless peons that they both are a good thing.
Why do I think you work in Jake Day's office? I bet I'm close, very close!

I agree with you, it was funny as Hell.
If Jake Burdett is out of the Federal Penitentiary for his federal criminal offense he may be able to help with the Bucket Brigade while he is on parole? Maybe that will shorten his sentence?
RINO Carl Anderton is begging for money for his libertard buddy Jake Day.
My tax dollars paid for this "free" festival" and jake wants me to pay again if I actually attend this "free festival"?
Ridiculous.
Was John Cannon out there begging for money for Jake Day. I know RINO Anderton and his girl Kendall Krap was.
Jake spent, what, 1/2 a million on an amphitheater and ...
Friday had no shows
Saturday the last show there was 7pm.
Great waste of taxpayer dollars.
