Since the Music Fest will not be held on Main Street in Isanti, I won't attend. The Main Street was perfect for such an event, and drew hundreds of people.
Bring it back to Main Street next year!

We all would love for it to be downtown. This is a Chamber event and they made the decision to move it to the Rodeo grounds. I have decided to still support this great free event as it provides great entertainment to the public. The move was made to save between $1,000 and $2,000 in cost along with the ability to move the concert under protection if it rains.

The event has had to be cancelled in the past due to poor weather. With the economy as it is the organizers have had a hard time finding sponsors to help fund the event.

I hope we can all focus on the fact that we are able to still have such an event in our great City.
