No damages to their studio, the convention center or the Houston Hotels. All should be good.

And that the festival area did not experience flooding. That came in an email from the festival folks themselves. There office was flooded but not the convention center or hotels in that immediate area. That makes it sound more possible.<br />debstokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07021426153590270109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391792078836906166.post-83727664571973865532017-08-31T06:13:24.842-04:002017-08-31T06:13:24.842-04:00My dear friend,

I can't even imagine as you stated, that Houston will be ready for this, let alone people having the means to participate! I so hope the show will go on, but would the committee consider another site in upper Texas or in another state?Castles Crowns and Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780241008313365707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391792078836906166.post-39459122375633700482017-08-31T05:14:13.574-04:002017-08-31T05:14:13.574-04:00You have voiced this so eloquently, dear friend.xYou have voiced this so eloquently, dear friend.xSparklyjoolshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04933747988131010460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391792078836906166.post-42537964292169220762017-08-31T03:32:12.895-04:002017-08-31T03:32:12.895-04:00Its very sad for so many people..... its hard to i...Its very sad for so many people..... its hard to imagine just what happens in flooding.... so much mud<br />HugzFionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497477051026460440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391792078836906166.post-1995589287194069892017-08-31T00:38:19.129-04:002017-08-31T00:38:19.129-04:00It doesn't seem possible???It doesn't seem possible???

I agree that under the circumstances the Houston festival should be cancelled. I highly doubt that Houston will be ready in 8 weeks to accommodate so many people who come for the festival.
