The Elk Grove Western Festival board is made up of volunteers, none of us are getting paid. Elk Grove as a community does not deserve the cancellation of this event that has been going on for over 60 years. We need the CSD to help us finish putting this event together, not shutting it down. Our insurance company has been working with the CSD the past week to get the wording correct, so it makes no sense for the CSD administration to do this to the Elk Grove Community. The way the Western Festival Board has been treated this year has been very upsetting, we get deadlines for new paper work that we have never ever had in the past. Is this CSD board a representation of the people of Elk Grove or are they just puppets of their administration. I'm also on the Strauss Festival Board, I started and keep the Red White and Blue fireworks show going, I put on the Veterans Parade, and I put on the Holiday of Lights Parade. I am appalled at the email that your administration sent out to the Elk Grove Community today over a signature on the insurance paperwork. Think about what this does to this community and the parade.
