Old Home Week upset about competing with mega concerts

Title

Abstract

The general manager of Old Home Week, Rayanne Frizzell, wrote to MLAs and the PEI 2014 Committee protesting that four of five concerts held during August would be in direct competition to Old Home Week's events. The provincial 150th celebration events are offered free of charge, but the Old Home Week events have an entrance fee. Both Tourism Minister Robert Henderson and the PEI 2014 Committee replied that they viewed both events as complementary to each other and do not believe that the free concerts will result in a negative financial impact on Old Home Week.
