Not much…in fact, nothing at all…I know the clown who suggested it…absolute ■■■■■■ who thinks he’s an artist and everyone else is an unsophisticated Philistine.
The town schedule is pretty crowded at that time of year with the Folk Festival, which people actually do want to go to. Sooner or later, someone else in a place closer to town will want to put on a big Folk Festival on Labor Day weekend, and big Winter Weekends, and then who’ll be complaining.
I haven’t run across anybody who supports the idea yet.
I have suggested the motto though…Putting the fairy back in Port Fairy.
Ran it past a couple of people at the coffee shop this morning…the people you’d expect to be against the idea were against, and the merchants are in favour.
