SITP stage shot A report to Council indicates the Summer in the Park 2015 Festival saw a budget deficit of $109,569.

The report also indicates the Festivals reserve account will have a negative balance of $155,978.

Contributing to this was reported bad weather and low Beer Garden sales due to the delay and the loss in walk up sales on the Friday.

As well, it is noted sponsorship was a challenge this year and the committee came in under the projected target.

This report is coming to council at tonight’s meeting (Monday night).
