What a great day and a responsible group of festival promoters. The just shut down the manure watch booths and are making them leave the festival...Other show promoters should take heed and learn to do the same.

  • That would have been fun to watch.  ha ha.

  • Am I the only one who does not know the significance of Manure watches and sunglasses?  Really no info when they are googled.

  • Great that they got the boot, but the question that comes to my mind is: How did they get admitted in the first place? It seems to me there is a flaw in their jury process that denied a qualified artist the space.
    • Apparently there is a flaw in most all jury processes that allow the Manure watches and sunglasses in their shows...however, I have so much respect for the people at Gumtree having the testicular fortitude to do something about it. The Manure people were very obnoxious and the show had to have the police escort them out.
      • I would think that promoters & artists could compile a "Blacklist" of these buy/sell people that routinely get into the Midwest and east shows. Out here in CO they only seem to get into the exclusive Cherry Creek show (China buckle guy). NO EXCUSES - if a jurist is on the ball,they should know about this stuff. 

        • Sometimes I wonder if some shows don't mind them being in their show even if they know they are not being honest

  • You should add photojournalism to your reporting, Greg. We need a visual with this one.
