Maskwa Folk Fest Suggestion Card
Date: March 12, 2016
Message:
Hey! Wayne Clarkson here. Are dogs allowed at the festival? I think it might be a great idea to have water stations around the festival so the dogs don’t get too hot or thirsty. Is this possible? Thanks.
Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, festival-goers who aren’t staying at Bear Bottom Campground shouldn’t bring their dogs to the festival unless it is a service dog, such as a guide dog for the blind. The Health Department recommends keeping the festival grounds clean of doggie waste. Campers at Bear Bottom Campground are responsible for the care and supervision of their dogs. You suggested having water stations at the festival would be a great way to keep pets safe and healthy. We agree! We’ll be in touch with a local pet shop to see if they’d like to support us in this. Thanks for the great idea!
– Gilles and Claire

| a reference to an original message | It was great to see several of you at the town hall meeting. Your ideas matter to us. I’d like to answer an unknown writer who wrote from the heart. |
| an understanding tone | As you may know, last year, two festival volunteers were injured in a car crash involving alcohol. We’re all really thankful they’ve recovered. |
| a rule or decision | When they asked us, “How about not allowing alcohol this year?” the festival organizers decided we wouldn’t have a beer garden on the new festival site. |
| a reason or two | Drivers can only get to Bear Bottom Campground on Willow Lake Road. It’s a winding, hilly route on loose gravel. |
| acceptance of ideas | Like you, we really want everyone to have an awesome time before, during, and after the weekend of sweet tunes and starry nights. |
| expressing the positive | Because a ban on alcohol reduces the permits we have to buy and the security we would have to hire, tickets for youth aged 18 to 24 will cost 30% less than a year ago. That’s a bonus for you! |

You can’t ban alcohol! You can’t! That is the worst idea ever. You must get a liquor licence or nobody will be able to have a good time at the festival, especially young people. Change it or else!
