City rescues Shakespeare festival with $75,000

The show will go on.

The city of Winona has come to the rescue of the Great River Shakespeare
Festival with at least $75,000 in what festival organizers call an
investment in the future of the city.

The city council and Port Authority voted Monday to provide the festival
with $50,000 and $25,000, respectively, in response to a request from
festival officials that also calls on the Convention and Visitors Bureau to
kick in $15,000.

CVB chairman David Jensen said Monday that the group's board had not
formally discussed the request, but did not foresee a problem because such
funding fits with the CVB's mission to increase tourism.

"It's a no-brainer to me," he said.
