Chautauqua Days Revival Faces Financial Risks in Ottawa
Ottawa Jaycees revived Chautauqua Days with turn of the century flavor featuring reenactors and an Americana Fourth vibe. The festival impressed overall but a costly Saturday night concert with B J Thomas and James Bonamy undercut finances, as only about 300 attendees attended against a 1,400 break-even target. The group contemplates safer, cheaper entertainment and more free acts to sustain the event while preserving historical elements.
