Always Going Somewhere

Reggae Rising is planned for the first weekend in August, same as last year, and the same as Reggae on the River before it. According to Mateel board member Garth Epling, the main sticking point in negotiations regarding the lease for Dimmick Ranch was the fact that “the Mateel wants to preserve its ability to put on a local festival using the Reggae on the River name.” As a result of the negotiation breakdown, the warring parties seem to be opting for what the Mateel’s lawyer, Bill Bragg, describes as “the nuclear option.” Well, I guess that’s one way to achieve peace.
