After 16+ members of Jake Day's posse returned from Greensboro they immediately expressed their shock wondering how in the hell they are going to pull this event off.
Let's start with the obvious. Greensboro NC. has 300,000 residents. Salisbury has 32,000 residents, most of which are renters.
Where are 150,000 to 300,000 people going to park and reside?
Who's going to provide security. More importantly, who's going to pay for security?
Are our hospitals prepared for a major catastrophe, (God Forbid) a car blows up or an unexpected Tornado comes through. Look, I know that's a reach but look at 9-11 or what happened in Boston.
OK, here's where things get serious, not that the above isn't serious enough. The Festival demands that the City come up with $700,000.00 in PRIVATE donations for the event. City taxpayers will pony up $100,000.00. Jake Day went to the Governor for a $150,000.00 grant for the event and was turned down. The only way the Governor would approve the funding is if the Wicomico County Parks Recreation & Tourism Board approved the $15,000.00 to file for the grant. In all, the City has $250,000.00 but must raise the additional $450,000.00 or the event won't happen.

Ja Rule and the Fyre Festival are facing a $100 million lawsuit after the "luxury" music festival they promised was a complete disaster.
Another major concern after their return from Greensboro is yet another demand in their contract stating the City must come up with 800 volunteers for the event. While I'm sure there are many people excited about an event like this coming to the Shore, let's get real. 800 people is a LOT of people, let alone volunteers. I'm a realist and I'm simply telling you, they'll not only have an extremely difficult time finding that many people, I just believe it will not happen. Sure, people will sign up but when push comes to shove I doubt 50% of them will actually show up.
Salisbury is just not set up for an event like this. As I mentioned before, there's not enough beds. The Waste Water Treatment Plant can't handle the current capacity. It will be next to impossible to get local businesses to pony up $450,000.00 for a weekend event and not see a return on their investment. The biggest hitters might come up with $10,000.00 a piece, (if you're extremely lucky) but it's tough enough to get hundreds of sponsors to pony up $20,000.00 for an entire 4th of July celebration.
FINALLY, did you know this is a THREE YEAR COMMITMENT, 2018, 2019, 2020! Jake, what have you gotten us into.
