Is RIVER DAYS Broke?


http://www.portsmouth-dailytimes.com/view/full_story/19641460/article-What-is-River-Days-worth-to-you-?

This story made me sad. It depicts a very strange picture of truth.

quote:


Now, let’s look at how much money River Days brings into area businesses. It is estimated that River Days draws 60,000 visitors for the four day festival. About 55,000 of those are day trippers, which means they visit for a single day of the event. Over four days, at $100.31 per person that brings in $5,517,050. It is estimated 5,000 visitors are over-nighters. Over four days, at $284.96 per person, they bring $1,424,800 into the economy, bringing the total for four days to $6,941,850 that goes back into the local economy.

So let me get this straight. I'm going to give you $25 so you can make 7 million over a 4 day period and what I get is some really bad entertainment year after year and $3 for a glass of beer. Oh yea 30 minutes of really great fireworks. You should have spent that on entertainment.

The truth is money is made at River-days and now you want to fool the public into giving back the only thing you've ever given them.

It aint free if you got to pay for it and nothing and nobody in Portsmouth is free.

Begging or soliciting for money in a local newspaper should be crime...well actually it is.



I couldn't help but notice that most of the entertainment is country. I got no problem with that but then you use a rock and roll song quote to try and horns-waggle everybody.
quote:


As John Fogerty says, “If you come down to the river, bet you gonna find some people who live. You don’t have to worry ‘cause you have no money People on the river are happy to give.”




If everybody gave $25 dollars lets do the math.
10K people times $25 = $250K Hmm?
Yea! that probably would DEFRAY the cost of all that fine entertainment.

You already have the money because you wouldn't/ couldn't hire these entertainers without it.



FRANK LEWIS and Albrecht can be reached in a nearby sewer with your money in Their pockets.

Well I learned a lot today about RIVER DAYS. People are afraid to speak their minds. I say the truth always is the truth, Lord knows I know the truth about RIVERDAYS now.
The person who enlightened me should really have a nice long talk with me someday soon preferably over a couple beers. I really could help but?

Told everybody for years what was going on down there...just like I did with SOGP and the Marting foundation.

If one thing is dirty about a mans business, it all is. Johnson rules it all. When are the rest of the people gona wake up and smell the coffee...it is burnt.
