I guess you have to draw the line somewhere as far as who gets freebies and who doesnt. If the line were extended past 31, the folks across the street would be unhappy. Whaddya-gonnado? Except for maybe not give ANY free tickets away....

Comment by Pamela Ball-Peterson on September 15, 2009 at 8:55am: you had to volunteer for the 4 day weekend and you had to purchase your ticket at the end of the weekend if you had put in all of your hours they were to send you a refund of your ticket price.

Comment by Liz on September 14, 2009 at 11:46pm: Pam, when you volunteered, did you get free tickets?

Comment by Pamela Ball-Peterson on September 14, 2009 at 11:22pm: Jonah....I agree.

Comment by Pamela Ball-Peterson on September 14, 2009 at 11:20pm: Well Michael......first let me say small town America is not wrapped into "whats' in it for me syndrome" ..furthermore I'll have you know I volunteered most of that weekend and the cleanup that followed...I was trying to be an advocate for those residents whom had gotten left out!!!! BUT....included myself as part of the communtiy in general....next time you decide to be rude to someone you know nothing about maybe this will be a reminder to you that not all things are as they seem when someone small minded as yourself goes into attack mode.

Comment by Michael Watt on September 14, 2009 at 9:03pm: Typical small town thinking "What's in it for me".

Comment by Jonah on July 9, 2009 at 11:19am: you'll learn after this year, pamela. Get groceries, fill up on gas, etc. before everybody shows up. i just barely got through the weekend without having to go grocery shopping.

i could hear the noise from montague, too. and the stoplight waits were about three times as long. but the benefit is, there were 33,000 people that drove through whitehall, montague and rothbury. spending money the whole way. annoying, yeah. but probably gave a much-needed boost to those businesses.

Comment by Pamela Ball-Peterson on July 8, 2009 at 6:01pm: didn't live here last yr but asked around neighbors saying no no one in this park did if.... they registered with their own address.
