I read the full article and a few things popped out at me.<br /><br />The article states:<br />"And now, with not much money left in the budget and no firm date, the event is simply "postponed." <br />My reply would be: I guess the Experience Museum will be postponed forever at this rate.<br /><br />The article states about the Tucson Best Fest:<br />"It is not canceled. However, it is going to be a challenge because it's been delayed for so long because of funding," Dunne said. "We're optimistic we can make it happen."<br />My reply would be: The Experience Museum will never happen as AHS wishes it, but a bad esperience has and will continue to occur.<br /><br />The article states about the Best Fest:<br />"Everything that's been talked about by the commission has kind of just gone away and disappeared, and we felt that we had to pull something together."<br />My reply would be: That statement sounds familiar, doesn't it? I bet the commission wished they could fade away into the background and each member probably wished it was one job they were never hired to do or volunteered to help on.<br /><br />The Phoenix Best Fest will occur as it would be a black mark on Brewer,and much of the remaining funds will probably be used for that event. If the Tucson event is held, maybe Dr. Woosley can ride in the lead antique car as her ideas of hiring a very expensive architect has contributed to the uneventful Tucson event.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
