Need better entertainment and vendors. Families can't enjoy cultural and enriching events that costsl 100 percent times the actual value. It was Labor Day and the Soul Food Festival had little to offer families and children and our youth. At a time when African Americans still make up most of the lower income class and unemployment we take the lead, vendors are charging outrageous prices and can't give a child under 12 a free hit do? What happened to community support.. Did we forget where we came from? I thought I was at a fine dining restaurant when I looked at the prices. I honestly was in tears when I saw a group of teenage boys come into Five Guys to sit and cool off. They could not afford to eat. All they had was a free bus pass given to them by the school district to make an effort and come downtown to enjoy the events. There were no samplers or free Kool aid or punch or even water to help their thirst. I remember when black people helped each other. Now all these festivals are just a way to monopolize and not support at all. It's become a commercial playground where there is no limit on pricing. T.M.DAMS 08.01.2024 #CORRESP8NDENTIT!
