Mr Stevenson is well aware of the financial difficulties, he and his family are affected drastically by the unemployment rate.The Oddfellows and rebekahs would like to see some support from the community. $1 for every person in Janesville would provide for a fund to support this years celebration now and in the future years to come. The carnival contract was a 2 year contract with the jaycees, the Oddfellows and Rebekahs stepped up and honered the 2nd year, in hindsight yea not a good thing. The carnival was contracted for more rides than what they had there period. As far as organizing yes a full year would be nice, there was not a year for the organization to plan JUST 4 MONTHS. Location was determined by the city no choice to use traxler. As far as volunteers, looked like more than enough volunteers. As far as drunkfest ask the extremely bored officers that were on site, seemed to be a very calming and nice atmosphere in the beer garden. A few dollars to help pay for fireworks that a lot of people saw from all over, is that really to much to ask for????????????? My donation is in the mail to 22 N. main St.

If there were 2,000 contributions of $10.00 out of the 60,000-70,000 people in the janesville community it would cover the cost of a major event of this size. Or maybe there would need to be a gate charge of some sort at the entrance to the park? Good luck.
