Joel Jolly was not interested in moving the cookers downtown when the park was the ideal site for the BBQ. In fact, the city had spent much money in putting in electric and water for the event. No one in Edgefield was apparently interested in taking over the BBQ under these conditions. Hence the cancellation. HOWEVER, the hospital may be interested in hosting an event on its property on a somewhat smaller basis.

: The Edgefield City Council, in its infinite

: downtown Edgefield. They left the barbeque
: in the park, however. So all of the people
: who had attended the festival and barbeque
: had to choose which event they wanted to
: attend. Those that went downtown didn’t
: attend the barbeque. This is the second
: festival killed by a City Council: The first
: being the one in downtown Bamberg.
