And I think people sometimes forget where the money really goes to - the local economy.

For instance - the paying the town hall for a day's rent, that employs local people and pays them overtime for working on Saturday. The people who are supplying the food - again local companies who are doing the catering. Admittedly at this event there are a couple of workshop artists that I've brought in from different areas of the country because I wanted a more international flavour but at least three quarters of the money spent on this event is put directly back into the local economy. I hardly think that is a waste of money.
