Well, that topic is probably for another thread, but I believe Tootsie's, a Nashville hot-spot, also located in Pier Park, will be opening this coming week, so they may be having a Country-fest.Has anyone heard of a free country-fest type concert that is supposedly going on in PCB next weekend?
Those rowdy Beach Boys. If that is a real story, it is a funny one.
What you don't understand is that this event was put on BY The Merchants of Seaside, which is run by a Board of Seaside merchants. The event program says "This event is brought to you by the Arts & Entertainment Fee collected by the Merchants of Seaside."
Respectfully, the above statement should be clarified with several facts.
At a DSA (Merchants of Seaside) general meeting on 12/20/07, merchant attendees were told that the Board had decided the Seaside Spring Wine Festival would be replaced by "Journey Through Jazz" in 2008.
The merchants as a whole were never asked by the Board or DSA office if they wanted the Spring Wine Festival ended. The merchants as a whole were never asked by the Board or DSA office if they wanted a Jazz event.
Thus, both decisions appear to have been made solely by the Board. The majority of merchants had no input nor knowledge until the Jazz event was announced by the Board at that meeting as being a done deal.
