You could not be more wrong about comfest.
Where the corporate entity reaping the profits? Nowhere. Ever notice that they don’t allow ANY corporate vendors whatsoever? All that money stays in the community.
They have to pay for the permits, the cops, all the volunteers (each volunteer makes $5/hr in tokens) In addition to that they have awarded $55,000 in grants to local charities, art initiatives, and community projects from the beer sales.
Yea, that has nothing to do with the community
