Newspapers ignored Latino Fest

"There was a Latino Fest and parade scheduled for today (Sept. 27, 2008). The Latino Fest was held at Lancaster Square; I saw three food stands, and a half dozen commercial booths. Attendance was light.

"The parade was scheduled for 1PM, and was to follow Orange St. from Broad to Queen, then pass a reviewing stand that was already set up at Lancaster Square. But it was pouring down rain between 1PM and 2PM, so I must assume the parade was canceled...

"There was NO mention whatsoever of either of these events in any of the Lancaster Newspapers over the past week. These events weren't listed on either the Lancaster City website, or on the web site of the Mayor's Office Of Special Events. The only listing I could find of these events is on the Downtown Investment District's calendar:

Latino Fest & Puerto Rican Parade
8:00 a.m. Latino Fest begins and activities continue throughout the day until dark. 1:00 p.m. 29th Annual Puerto Rican Parade. The route starts at the
intersection of E. Orange and Broad and will end at Binns Park. The parade theme this year is "Together: Preserving Our Latin Culture".
Tickets: Free of charge
Location: Downtown Lancaster/Binns Park

"Last year's parade took nearly 45 minutes to pass by, and included numerous local officials and organizations. Both the parade and the Latino Fest were heavily attended.

"I believe it is noteworthy that Lancaster Newspapers published no notice of either the Latino Fest or the parade. On what basis did Lancaster Newspapers decide to ignore these culturally significant events?"
