> I know this is nearly impossible BUT. I would carry a small cooler
around with me at the festival and still hand them out, just to proove a
point.! Go back to my car, where there is a larger cooler and load the
smaller one up again.. Folk Festival Committee better be careful here or
they might end up like Ford City did during the Heritage Days...
These towns don't have many things to attract people, it didn't seem
like there were as many people at Heritage days as usual, don't know what
the reason, maybe the novelty has worn off, hopefully the Folk Festival
won't turn the local people off- these two festivals, Worthington carnival
and Dayton Fair are the biggies for the summer in this area.Has anyone
ever seen a fireworks display at PNC park? The ones around here plae in
comparison, I know there is no money for that kind of stuff herebut we can
wish.
On another note , I hope Ford City wakes up and forgets about the dumb
museum and tries to get some industry in, especially if the Eljer rumor
would ever prove true.
