Mayfest - The Latest Swine Flu Casualty!

The latest caualty of the Swine flu is not a human being but rather the outdoor events of this weekend in Fort Worth according to a note from Police Chief Jeff Halstead this morning.

Mayfest officials called a press conference for about 2 p.m. today, and they were expected to announce that the annual festival on the Trinity River will be canceled because of concerns of the swine flu.

According Law enforcement agents working at the venue, which was scheduled to open at 3:30 this afternoon, the Centers for Disease Control told Mayfest to “shut down” this would be a big blow to the annual festival which is in its 37th and is expected to run through Sunday drawing more than 200,000 people.
