[size=150:bl5etavd][b:bl5etavd]FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS SNOWY – TAKE A HINT AND CHANGE THE DAMN NAME!!!![/b:bl5etavd][/size:bl5etavd]

Jen – ohmygod, are you trying to commit verbal suicide or are you really that dumb?
1. Have you heard of something known as customer relations? You havn’t even had the event yet, and you’re already giving your potential guests a hard time? Brain capacity of a snowflake? That’s what you think of the folk who believe in one of the oldest traditions in Fernie?
2.Nobody is saying what you are doing is a bad thing, except for maybe your neighbour there with the sled dogs, and I gotta say he does have a point. Having an all night rave in a residential area full of domestic animals may not be the brightest idea, particularly if your chosen charity is the SPCA.
3.If you are starting a new tradition, why did you steal an old name instead of coming up with your own? And what ideas and concepts exactly? Getting pissed and keeping up the neighbourhood? Hell, I’ve done that plenty of times and it don’t take much brainstorming to make it happen! And if you’re talking about the fundraising, that’s hardly new either, and there’s plenty of worthy charities in Fernie.
4.Multicultural means a lot more than coming from different countries (especially if the ones noted all pretty much have the same lifestyle and, dare I say it, …culture…) – but I’m not about to get into a race war.
5.I actually thought what you guys were doing was okay in itself, if only you would stop trying to make it something it wasn’t. Now I’m not so sure – “just cough up your f***g $15” etc, really isn’t the Fernie attitude I know and love…I am involved in several local charity events and I don’t think that’s a phrase I would use…

And I’m still waiting for someone to tell me what your replacement to burning skis will be (ie, the whole point of the mogul smoker…)

Good luck with your party, I hope every one has a great time, and I hope you can forgive a few concerned citizens who just want to preserve a memeto of the old Fernie, and encourage people to start NEW traditions instead of stealing old ones…
