Part of the fun with a festival like this is that it is cozily ensconced in the downtown area. Businesses we normally do not have time to stop and visit are accessible. A town center is life-giving to the town's people, and should be the site for community festivals such as the Red Fern. Also, moving the festival makes it less accessible to the student population, including international students, who are eager for events such as these to attend because they don't have to have a car.
The charm of these festivals is visiting the downtown businesses and shops in small towns. Please leave in the downtown area.
Instead of blocking Muskogee Ave from Choctaw to goingsnake why not close from Downing to going snake and from Morgan to college to water. Also block from Choctaw to downing from water street
Keep it down town where it belongs!!
Please keep it downtown!!
This event will die if it is moved.
Keep the Red Fern downtown.

Leave the red fern where it is! That’s historical. The “industrial park” is NOT historical!
