Numbers 'Disappointing' For Rare Earth

Rare Earth FestThe question remains..will there be a Rare Earth music fest number 4 ? Organizer Kath Raeber says they're still tallying the receipts and bills from number three this past weekend, but they didn't hit the numbers they wanted.. "I was a little disappointed with the numbers again. I wish Vernon would come to the party, but maybe it just takes time and change. We put on a great big beautiful party for Vernon." Raeber says they had people from all over the place including Regina. She says she's a little tired after the weekend so now is not the best time to decide if it will return in 2011. More than 100 musicians and 200 volunteers took part in the three day event at Kin Track Park. Attendance at last year's event was hampered by the weather and wildfire smoke.
