Let the good times stop

This is really disappointing, but not entirely surprising. The Daily News today reports that the summer concerts at Market Landing Park will likely be canceled this year due to lack of interest among sponsors.

Already the July 18 concert has been canceled and the other 3 are in peril, according to the Chamber of Commerce.

It seems to me that someone should be able to cough up $1500 to sponsor a concert. People like them, and it's a fun way to spend an evening with the family. I went to one, last year, and it was a good time.

Times are tough, but $1500 is only the equivalent of a couple of tanks of gas ...

do the sponsors get to choose the bands?

I might get talked into a contribution, if I get to pick the music. :-)
