It won't be quite as
uncrowded as when Samuel de Champlain first arrived at the lake that
bears his name, but a festival marking the 400th anniversary of his
trip so far is seeing disappointing ticket sales.
Organizers of the
Burlington International Waterfront Festival say the 13-day, $1.8
million event so far has failed to meet expectations on sales of
tickets.
Officials are hoping
for recent rains to let up in time for traditional Independence Day
fireworks on July 3, and that ticket sales will pick up for events
ranging from appearances by local favorite Grace Potter and the
Nocturnal to blues guitar great Buddy Guy.
