Ren-again?
Heather Ferguson outlined the upsides of the Renaissance Festival last month, which lost a lot of money but had good crowds and was, speaking as an attendee, pretty neat and kid friendly. With tax money scarce, though, I'm sure elected officials would question continued support for this event.

The event was outstanding. I sure hope that the commission realizes that this is an opportunity to give something to the community that will grow and allow yet another event for people long gone to come home too. I can't think of one reason why they wouldn't support it.
Wasn't there a commissioner that was pushing for this for a long time? Or was it the chamber? Either way this could work out to be another main event for Ark City. Let's hope everyone can work together to bring it back.
maybe we can have roman bull fighting
"I can't think of one reason why they wouldn't support it."
How about because it cost, and will continue to cost, the city money they don't have.
How much money did the city provide for the Tumlbeweeds with the Last Run car show? Do they provide money for t-shirts and beer?? I doubt anyone can dispute the fact that this event is profitable for local business!!
The park is very well maintained, but the two city properties across the street to the south are 'slum-like' Why doesn't the water dept. bosses called in on the carpet for not doing anything about taking pride in the appearance of their grass??!
