Why not have it Wallaceburg.Blenheim, Tilbury, Thamesville, Bothwell or somewhere other than Chatham?

One always knows these questions are coming…
Why would it not be held in Chatham? Chatham is central and inclusive to all of the communities.
Few in Wallaceburg are going to travel all the way to Tilbury for it. Who in Wheatley is going to travel to Dresden to attend?
Gimme a break….
Having your big old hate on for Chatham is one thing, but get you some common sense as you go…

I am all for a party, but lets not lose sight of the $25,000 for a nutrition programme. it will hopefully tie in nicely with the Chatham Kent community food security initiative .

Just wondering where there is room for 5000 peaple to park downtown?

Lots of parking downtown and always shuttles can be utilized from parking lots not used on weekends. Maybe even interurban bus to get people from around C-K to downtown.A bit of a challenge but can be dealt with. Stay positive!

If 20,000 people for Retrofest can fit, and 25,000 for Ribfest, I’m betting 5000 will be a “walk in the park”. Every pun intended

Andrew lol and is it only 5000 people allowed to attend or just for a certain thing?
