The following was addressed to the Chowderfest Committee but was submitted to The SandPaper with a request for publication.

To the Chowderfest Committee:

I am writing this to comment on the choice to have Chowderfest on a terrible day rather than the rain date, which was beautiful. Why have a rain date if you are not going to use it? There was ample time to postpone the event as the weather was calling for rain on Saturday for a week prior.
