Speaking as a spectator, or possibly another family with children, I think the idea has perhaps been lost? Isn't this about children? Is the goal lost or are we focused on the wrong group? 20 years ago I might have thought that alcoholic beverages at an event like this would be OK and fun. But, with the changes in laws and the cultural awareness of today, I am a bit surprised that we are making so much opportunity for children to share in the drinking? I admit, this event is not designed for children and drinking but I would keep my eyes open for young adults delivering to minors? Think that might happen?? Just my thoughts... My two cents?

I do believe Moondance will suffer without their participation. Sometimes town politics, small town politics, can be a little shady or unfair. It may be that way in all towns, but it hits closer to home in a small town, where everyone knows everyone. I know that those that know the "nasty" details about how this event came to take place will not forgive the person that caused it to transpire, in fact, will always be a skeptic of that person's motivations. In a small town talk is everything, and word of mouth is how to spread a reputation, bad or good. Perhaps Gina and Jill wanted to pass on the torch, or perhaps they needed a bit more help. Perhaps it's all an "excuse", but I have to agree with Kadee, though she sounds rash, truth lies in what she says about quitting in the twelfth hour. No one quits in the twelfth hour without due cause. Sadly, I do agree that Gina and Jill did a wonderful job with Moondance, and they will be missed.
