I really need more people to see this right now because we keep climbing toward that two hundred fifty mark and I just know it will change how the parks department looks at us. Please tell a few neighbors about the festival because if we hit that milestone before the weekend ends it might actually give us the leverage we need to get a meeting.

Such a shame it stopped. The music was always top notch and the vibes were perfect.

Why did they kill this? Welles Park feels so empty without the music.
