Ron Cannan, Babcock said he couldn’t even ballpark a price just yet.0:35Coun. Charlie Hodge said he likes the “funky” little stage and noted that quite often, when it comes to improving amenities, the charm is taken away.
“My philosophy is either it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. We all know the boards are broken but it’s not all that bad,” Coun. Hodge said.“Bottom line is that is a very funky little location and people love it because it’s open air, it’s small, it’s great, you can sit on the lawn, and as far as I’m concerned, that’s part of what makes its charm,” he said.
“Quite often what we do is we try to improve things and we wreck them. And so my concern is that we don’t lose the flavour of what we got going there. ”
