Several questions remained unanswered.
1. If the event planning process typically takes 8 to 10 months, why was Council not informed within this timeframe?No beer tent, no loud music, just good fun for all ages and we simply let it die.
2. Who made the decision to delay any action on this Festival until after the 2007 budget was approved, especially when it was well known that this year's budget would come in significantly later than past years?
3. Was the Mayor's office informed prior to the 31st of May?
4. Was the DWBIA approached before the 31st of May for their support or ideas?
I guess the only answer now is to hire a consultant to tell us what we did wrong. While we're at it, why don't we throw in a couple hundred thousand extra to tell us how we can improve Windsor's image and marketability. At least that way, someone can make money.
