Some officials think Lumberjack Days getting out of hand The boozing and brawling at Stillwater's Lumberjack Days festival grew so rowdy Saturday night that nearly 50 police officers could barely keep up, leading three City Council members to say the city should tone down next year's event.

a local bar started charging $20/person cover. Beer was pretty expensive and a has-been band like Skynerd was getting $50 for "VIP" seats...meanwhile the demonrats are trying to tell us how poor the economy is and people are starving in the streets.yeah, whatver. I see vast prosperity wherever I look.

Never confuse alcoholism for prosperity.

$5 for a lousy cup of beer? that' people with more money
than sense.
$50 for front row with a band with no hits in the past 20 years=$$$$

Maybe Skynyrd covered The Lumberjack Song. I'ld pay $50 to see the Van Zant kid sing "I'm a Lumberjack, and that's OK"

""The crowd (that Lynyrd Skynyrd attracts) does not fit the demographics of Stillwater," he said. "There's some place between the Six Fat Dutchmen and Lynryd Skynyrd that would work for our community. We've got to get to somebody like Barry Manilow."

Dude...go with the Dutchmen...that Manilow crowd is nothing but trouble...
