Marysville Peach Festival has come and gone. Sadly, the lovely lady featured in this filmed bit will still have to deal with the down side of not being able to service her customers.
I must be thick as a brick, do not see why some consideration could not have been shown to the almost 100 year old lady. Not as if the demands of her being brought in would have caused the set up of the road.
The lovely lady featured in this filmed bit is not alone in her feeling that city did not take the needs of businesses located in area too serious. Many shops closed and there be some who did almost no business due to the closure of the road and vendors blocking the front of shops.
Makes one wonder as the whole idea of the Marysville Peach Festival was to promote the Downtown Merchants and their shops.
I will tell you true, I attended the Marysville Peach Festival both days. I went out of way to support the local merchants who do business on "High Street" 365 days a year. I also wanted my cash to stay in Marysville, not travel in the pocket of a vendor to another community.
With the purchase of food, drink, water, candy, gift items and an order for new shoes, I spent close to $200.00. The entire amount was spent with LOCAL MERCHANTS. How brilliant it would be if every person who attended the festival from Marysville did the same.
The numbers have not come out of yet, as to how many went to the festival. While it was not 50,000, it had to have been thousands. How many took the time to support the merchants on "High Street"?
