Friday's letters: Evicting festival from barn short-sighted

Re. “Heritage Festival told to leave barn it built in 1986,” Paula Simons, Aug 9
It’s another case of the city shooting from the hip. I am flabbergasted at the short sightedness.
Is the barn in bad repair that makes it unsafe? Why do we as a city not support this world-class event, which is actually the biggest of its kind in the world? Common sense would dictate to make it as easy and cost-efficient as possible for all involved in an effort to keep such important festivals tha
