Okay then the city needs to sponsor a Satan worshipped gathering. Then something for the muslims and the jews and pagans. If they city refuses then sue then for religious discrimination.

I heard a questionable rumor...(or did I just make it up?)... that they're going to demolish the Waldo Hotel and build a replica of Stonehenge for a Druid festival.

The Satan worshippers, Muslims, and Jewish would need to design aaid festivals first then they could request funding assistance from the city. I wonder how many applicants have submitted their paperwork?

I agree, I'm sure that the food would be great too, or at least interesting. I've always wanted to try borscht.

They could always do a paper mache stone henge in the open area next to Chase where Minards usually sets up during the Italian Heritage festival; however would that kinda conflict with the Celtic festival?

Forum Member is p'od they got their fake title of Forum Monitor taken away for misrepresenting themself on another thread about the waldo, therefore has decided to go around on all clarksburg threads trying to run amuck, just ignore and continue your conversation as if they never interjected. Or give her some cheese to go with her wine.

I wonder what other types of foods might be served.

Oh, what about an Egypt fest? Clarksburg could host The Beautiful Feast of the Valley or the Opet Festival. That should be interesting.
