Cedar Polka Fest in jeopardy

A squabble over fees for use of township park land could cancel this year’s Cedar Polka Fest.

Organizers of the event, the Polka Fest Foundation/Cedar Chamber of Commerce, have called foul a proposal to charge the organization money for use of the Cedar Community Park for the Polka Fest, scheduled for Aug. 22-25.

“If we cancel … I don’t know if it will ever come back,” said Lisa Rossi-Brett, executive director of the Polka Fest Foundation, which was established for tax reasons as it is a non-profit organization.
