After the Province's damaging article which included contradictory and negative comments by the Vancouver Fireworks Festival Society, it was quite clear that our donation drive wouldn't have a chance at all.
Immediately after the article's publication, it was agreed upon by both parties that we would have a week long media blackout....and we collaborated and merged our efforts after that week.
I should also mention that
while the Keg is the most significant sponsor in this new lifeline, there are also two other sponsors: Edgewater Casino and Shore 104 FM Radio.
Not only should you eat at the Keg, you should also gamble your money away at Edgewater and listen to Shore 104 FM.
This also means that the syndication music is no longer on Rock 101.
