DisapproveWill the shuttle be set up for handicap people? My sister comes from Columbus Ohio every year, she is in a wheelchair and she brings her grand kids with her. I told her about the change in parking, she said it would make it hard on her with the kids.So she said she would not be coming this year and she would not be coming back for light up Middletown also. She said Middletown is really going down the tubes fast. She comes to visit all the time and says the magazine article is true, Middletown is dieing.]]> Sat, 11 Apr 2009 04:35:13 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1170&PID=5614&title=balloon-festival#5614 Balloon Festival : Thanks MadMom http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1170&PID=5412&title=balloon-festival#5412 Author: 409

Please go to this site and voice your concerns. There are e-mail contacts on this site. They know there are people not happy with the new parking for 2009. BUT there are extenuating circumstances that sort of forced the executive committee's hand. The executive committee has been working on this for months. This event takes almost a year to plan. Lots of good people doing something that Middletown should be proud of. Besides holding down a full time job, this is strictly volunteer.

409, more about this event will come to light in the next few months. ]]> Wed, 01 Apr 2009 21:26:40 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1170&PID=5402&title=balloon-festival#5402 Balloon Festival : Mr Jonathan I have taken care... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1170&PID=5400&title=balloon-festival#5400 Author: Impala SS

Mr Jonathan   I have taken care of people with AIDS for over 20 years.  I took them in my home when nobody would even speak to them. I took care of them till they died, I have held little babys when they took there last breath. Which is more important a persons life or the good old boys club? You tell me.]]> Wed, 01 Apr 2009 17:51:17 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1170&PID=5400&title=balloon-festival#5400 Balloon Festival : I don't know why you jump... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1170&PID=5389&title=balloon-festival#5389 Author: Middletown News

I don't know why you jump on Ann Mort all the time. People like Ann are the people getting things done in this town. What have you done that is as good as any 1 think Ann has done?]]> Wed, 01 Apr 2009 10:26:36 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1170&PID=5389&title=balloon-festival#5389 Balloon Festival : I agree with River.

I agree with River.
Despite many areas wher I don't jive with Mrs.Mort's thinking, I see her as a long-term great asset to our community in so many ways.
 
She has made many things happen, and many more things happen much better.
 
I like her and trust her.
She is a strong piece of the puzzle, and we have room for her efforts/thinking as well as that of everyone else.
The true path to area success/improvement is the melding of the Mort group with the alternative thinkers represented here, and everyone else who wants to be involved.
 
She(and her husband) have done infinitely more than their share around here.

Ann Mort has been associated with the Ohio Challenge since its inception. Her hard work and experience in public relations has helped the event to grow as it has.

And no, I am neither a relative nor a city person

Why dosent  Ann Mort Keep her nose out of it? She is part of the reason the attendance is down. When you have a good thing going you leave it alone. Thats why I do not go any more. Does she have a degree in balloon shows? I think not.]]> Wed, 01 Apr 2009 01:28:15 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1170&PID=5370&title=balloon-festival#5370 Balloon Festival : MadMom...I (we) appreciate that.... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1170&PID=5369&title=balloon-festival#5369 Author: 409

MadMom...I (we) appreciate that. In discussing this parking scenario with others, we all feel this will be detrimental to increasing attendance and an inconvenience. Likewise, I believe most would like to see this event continue through the years. It just won't happen if attendance keeps dropping. Also, a good time for a reasonable price in this economy.
