No Barnum Festival this year?

Just heard from a friend the Barnum Festival is broke so there will be no show this year They need about $30,000 to keep it going. SO SAD.

Considering this show is well attended by the fans that is a shame...One of my favorites of the year...Didn't the Santa oil company donate 30K last year or maybe the year prior? maybe they can't find a sponsor...

Remember Wes Hoby for doing the announcing for many years at Bridgeport Shows.

Maybe someone should tell the Barnum people that they could charge $20. per ticket and then maybe they will do it?

I don't know this for absolute certainty (man, that is some bad grammar there...LOL)... but I think one of the reasons the Barnum drastically reduced ticket prices in recent years was to boost lagging attendance under the higher prices.

True, but with the increased attendance, even if they upped it to $10, they'd still pull in about $10,000 extra.

Also, if it was $10, it would be much cheaper than some other corps charge for their tickets. $18 for cramped stands and a lousy view, compared to $10 for a great view and more corps, that would totally be worth it.

Good points, Kyle. 10 dollars would definitely be a bargain!!!

Hershey, at the end...2004...was $18 for 5 DCA corps, 6/7 juniors and the Marines.
