Musikfest

Sometimes, if you're going to a festival, you have to create a Plan B. The Bethlehem event, used to have a van, from a local rehab facility, picking up people in wheelchairs at the same place as everyone else. Suddenly that stopped due to finances instead they have an accessible bus that drives people within the festival area. There's no time schedule but they tell the staff to tell those people who ask that there is. I would like them to be honest with guests in wheelchairs. It is probably a real hassle for out of towner's. Not only that, but during the week the bus only starts at 4 pm and that's not helpful at all. Once a family with a kid who had a disability wrote a letter to the editor about it. Last year I called and spoke to the director who was very receptive and said I could be really involved with the accessibility aspects this year. That was never followed up on but I will call again this year.
