music festival

Just wondering what people think.
Should we have the music festival the weekend before Arkalalah, or the first week of October.

There are benefits to both. And drawbacks.

Connecting to Arkalalah gives financial benefits, more people to attract, lowers costs, but the weather is risky, and its going to be cold in the evenings regardless, probably.

First week of oct. we have a better chance at good weather, but there are some financial issues there without the arklalah connection.

So ... what think ye ?

We are starting to plan and talk about the festival ... if anyone wants to get involved, give me a holler.

My .02 cents. Thx 4 asking. I would opt for better weather. I was kinda cold at last Music Fest.

People around town that can will support with donations. It is a positive asset to our community.

But, that being said, jj, i'll be there whenever it's dated.

What are the financial issues? I guess maybe it was easier to market in conjunction with Arkalalah.

Easier to market.
also, with arkalalah, we can get on the city's insurance.
without that connection we will have to buy a policy

Well, then I say go for Arkalalah. If you ever get bigger you can always change the date but at this point I would use the resources that are available to you.

You had a good crowd last year, right? It didn't deter people from attending because it was during Arkalalah.

Yes i think the crowd would be better at arkalalah, but the weather is just risky then.
