What's Next Maud, Prohibition?

From the Sun Gazette comes a story titled "Vienna's Oktoberfest May Make Comeback" by Maud's boy Brian Trompeter:

After a 19-year break, Oktoberfest may be returning to Vienna. The Town of Vienna and the Vienna-Tysons Regional Chamber of Commerce have tentatively agreed to sponsor an Oktoberfest/Taste of the Town event on Oct. 4. The event would be a fitting finale for summer activities at the Town Green, said Tom Hanton, the chamber's vice president for membership.

Finale for Town Green summer activities? There is NOTHING going on at the Town Green, but now we have public officials outside of Town Council pretending that this boondoggle waste of money is accepted and useful? The Trompeter/Maud propaganda continues:

There would be live entertainment and activities, both designed for a younger audience, on the Town Green. A separate stage on Church Street would cater to an older crowd. Beer would be served from a closed-in area on nearby private property, as alcohol is verboten on the Town Green.

"Verboten"? It's almost as if Maud now writes the articles for Trompeter! And alcohol at the Town Green is verboten why? The article makes it sound like we citizens all know that alcohol is banned there for special events and that we all know why and agree with it. What's really odd about the no alcohol at special events bit? We have seen Town Green and historic nutbag Laine Hyde's crew have fun with alcohol, so why is it banned at the Town Green?

But it gets better. Here are some of the concerns of Council members about having Oktoberfest:

Council member Laurie Cole said chamber officials need to make sure their event does not interfere with the Vienna Optimist Club's Walk for Growing Hope, which likely will take place on the same day near that location.

Does anyone know what the "Walk for Growing Hope" is? Better yet, Maud foot soldier George Lovelace outlines his concerns:

Council member George Lovelace said organizers should be prepared for the onslaught of out-of-town visitors that Oktoberfest events often bring.

Good point George! Any economic development, any outside money coming into Vienna would be really dumb. Is this all a dream? Or do these nitwits actually run a government?
