Food Fest

This is another earlier article dated November 22, 2007
Mr. Clark of Food Fest made an announcement in City council stating the deficit of $120,000.00 had been erased from last years Food Fest while another member of Food Fest stated Food Fest was now in the black.
This announcement concerns me and should concern others in the city of Welland,
First of all it was this writers' understanding the deficit was in the area of $134,000.00 which is not too close to the area of $120,000.00. If the figures were available to make this announcement one has to presume there is a financial statement which should also indicate the amount in the black. It surprises me that not one councilor questioned this announcement by asking for a more financial depth to support the figure given.
Having said this I'm wondering if any of the following questions were put to Mr. Clark, if not, they should have been plus the council representative on Food Fest should have also made a report, very strange;
What was the total of all donations including the City of Welland?
What was the total of all vendor permits?
What was the total expenditures?
What was the overall receipt total excluding vendor permits and donations but including beer sales and empties?
Who was the city's representative?
