Dear Chuck:
I appreciate the time you took this morning to discuss the WMMO Fall Music &
Arts Festival.
As we discussed, the current economic situation and the hesitancy to travel by
national artists have made producing our event this year Impossible. It is with
regret that we find ourselves having to cancel the event. Please let this letter
serve as our cancellation notice to the City of Winter Springs and Central Winds
Park. Pursuant to the termination clause In our contract, all fees paid by us to
the City will be refunded within five (5) business days of our cancellatton.
Chuck, we really appreciate the assistance you provided us throughout the
planning process and hope that we may do business together again in the
future.
