We visited an event
that had great theme and a lot of potential! Unfortunately, it fell far short
of being the really special event it could have been. I know that the
organizers work very hard each year, so the problem was not for lack of effort.
So, what went wrong? The event has been running for many years, so perhaps it
needs new direction, a re-evaluation. On the day that we visited the festival,
there was a whole day of events scheduled. We arrived about noon, just in time
for the start of the downtown festival parade. It was a long interesting parade
and would have been perfect if it was just a town parade. However, the parade
was supposed to represent the festival’s theme and it did everything but! There
was very little in the parade that tied to the fun and spirit of the festival’s
theme! After the parade there were a number of activities scheduled to take
place in the downtown area.
