CHIVE FEST – NO, IT’S NOT A PRANK, BUT DENVER PARKS AND REC HAS NOT MADE THE FINAL DECISION

See previous post
Just got off the phone with a very helpful Denver Parks and Rec person who called me (but later would not identify herself – official DPR word has to come from Jeff Green – who has not returned my calls) who talked very fast and filled me in with all of the details regarding the up and coming CHIVE FEST to be held in City Park, East Meadow, on Aug. 16, 2014.
The applicant for the FEST is Allphases in Boulder. The Admissions Based Event regulations are the same for all applicants. There is no requirement that community groups or RNOs be notified of permitted events. Admission for this event is capped at 7500. Admission is $70 for the day, 12:00 noon to 10:00 pm.
Here are some screen captures for the promotional video on the Chive Fest site.

“KEEP CALM and CHIVE ON” is the group motto. Link to more photos of Seattle Chive Fest, which looks like they had an audience of about 1000 (my estimate).
