JUBILEE DAYS FESTIVAL IN JEOPARDY

(Hagerstown, IN)--One of our area’s late summer and early fall festivals appears to be in jeopardy.  It’s Hagerstown’s Jubilee Days.  Here’s Robin Nugent from the Lions Club addressing Hagerstown’s council this week:  "We have nothing.  We just can't do it."  She was talking about preparations and financing for the festival.  There was brief discussion about asking the town to take over and then this question from council:  "Are we better off to skip this year and to get a new committee to do this and to rethink Jubilee?"  No final decisions about this year’s Jubilee Days were made this week.
