The Arts and Antiques sale is over and now it needs to be analyzed for its successes and failures. 

What IS Mrs. Carpenter doing with MDAH grants that are for CLG properties when the property is clearly not in the Historic District? 

CEO Nancy Luke Carpenter continues to use her home, herself, and her family members in advertising for the CVB despite specific directives from the board to cease such actions. 

The Dispatch has decided to let Carpenter's lies about the Elks Lodge Event go unchallenged. Why? Are there any journalists willing to do the hard work any more? 

How is the Elks Building going to pass inspection and be a safe venue for the Arts and Antique Show? This will take nothing more than a Christmas Miracle to pull off safely!

The Butler donation is finally found on the 990's but there is shoddy accounting in the budget at the very least. And about that Elk's building with the gaping twelve foot hole in the porch where the arts and antique show will be held in five working days. Are Carpenter's lies ever going to catch up with her at the board? 

The derelict and abandoned Elks Club building is the site of the 2023 CVB hosted Art and Antique Show and Sale. You really can't make this stuff up! 

The CVB's director, Nancy Luke Carpenter, sent out invites to an event before bothering to secure a venue and now she has egg on her face! 

Babs the Bumbler aka Nancy Luke Carpenter can't follow the rules...or is it she believes the rules that she agreed to AND signed don't apply to her? 

Basic bookkeeping is clearly not one of Carpenter's strong suits. No worry! The CVB has a new treasurer and he's on the case!
