Anniversary celebration worth it?

**NotSoSilentBob** · February 9th, 2007, 10:57 PM

Remember that little 'party' the county had at LPR last summer?

Was it worth $110 000?

But I thought private donations were supposed to take care of the tab? Thus far the county has received $24 000 in donations.

Hope everyone enjoyed their free hot dogs. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wall.gif[/img]

How many people actually attended. I know I didn't and hadn't even thought about it since. But I guarantee if you ask any of the powers that were behind they laude it as a great success. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

i say yes....it was very successful, a fitting tribute to the county's birthday. many folks who would never have the financial resources to see a top quality concert got to do so. wise county and our towns need more community celebrations like that, maybe not with such a price tag, but i have no problem with it since it was a one-time expense.
