Capital District Transportation Authority - CDTA is there anyone working in your radio department? Was transferred to that department from the lost and found department but there was no answer and my daughter ended up forgetting her favorite stuffed kitten on the bus

In observance of Yom Kippur, OGS will begin the Hops and Harvest event at 7:30 p.m. on September 19.
Empire Hops & Harvest Festival YOU ARE JOKING RIGHT? In less than 24 hours you announce you are going to delay the start of an event and impact vendors and businesses who are expecting crowds at 5 pm, when work gets out? I am all for people who need to observe a religious day, and totally respect their faith, but this is illogical. Yom kippur has been on the calendar for hundreds of years. People who were planning in vending, attending, and performing, would have checked this calendar and made a decisions well in advance. however all those planning on vending the event, performing and attending the event wetr in board (and I am sure they respect those who are observing)...both the event and Yom Kippur have been on the calendar for several months if not hundreds of years. People made arrangements for this event to vend and/or attend. Many people planned to attend after work and get home at a reasonable time. The loss of money and supplies may be great and I hope vendors take legal action if you choose to pursue this. change of time. Let those who observe observe, and those who don't observe should continue on and attend as scheduled. Those observing are not likely coming to a hops and harvest fest at nightfall. Be sensible and logical. Seriously, have people given this any serious thought in terms of the financial impact of the vendors who paid permits to be there? Its not like this was planned yesterday. Why is this coming out of the blue less than 24 hours before the event? All Government offices aren't closed tomorrow, a handful of schools are closed but not all, banks are open, post office is open, colleges have classes. Those who observe, get time off. What is REALLY going on here and why would you choose to impact so many who aren't in the Jewish faith?
It's usually been a hard stop at 9:00. how are you gonna pull off 3 bands in 1.5 hours???. I have been lookIng forward to (and promoting) THIS EVENT for three - four months. Perhaps those who observe can be content to forego the opening bands and arrive for the headliners. WIN WIN!
