Jubilee hoping to reach compromise with WVU

Officials with the Stonewall Jackson Heritage Arts and Crafts Jubilee, along with the Lewis County Commission, will meet this morning in Morgantown with the leaders of the West Virginia University Extension office to discuss the future of the Labor Day weekend festival.

The sticking point in the issue is the amount WVU Jackson's Mill charges - $27,000 - the Jubilee for the weekend event. The festival has paid all of its financial obligations, but still owes about $19,000 to Jackson's Mill.

Debby Walker, president of the Jubilee's board of directors, said she hopes some sort of financial compromise can be worked out with the university. She attributed the festival's financial difficulties to a $16,000 drop in revenue from last year's event.
