ummer Music Festival

aron Von Lodge was the head of a small country known as Lilliland near Switzerland. The time was the early 1900s.

The Baron was discussing with his chief advisor, Professor Hamblin, formerly of Cambridge University, the overall effects of a winter season that was unusually warm. The skiers did not want to come to Lilliland because there was not enough snow to make it an enjoyable experience.

The budget committee of Lilliland suggested many cutbacks on programs that were funded by the winter ski season. One of the events was the free summer concerts for all of the citizens and all of the summer tourists.

It was suggested to the Baron that the cost of canceling the concert could save enough money to balance the budget for the remainder of the events.

The Baron said to the Professor that it was an easy way out of the budget crunch. But it may be shortsighted.

Music was a very important part of life in Lilliland. The sounds of Strauss waltzes over Castle Lake as the majestic swans swan offshore was an inspirational time for everyone. This joyous moment would not be cancelled due to a budget crunch.

The Baron, with the Professor’s approval, decided to withdraw the funds from the special emergency fund that the Baron had to cover such costs. When a better winter season produced extra revenue, then the money borrowed from the emergency fund would be replaced.

The wonderful music, with the Alpine Mountains in the background, and the beautiful swans on Castle Lake, was an experience that people remembered year after year. It was an important part of the Lilliland culture. The Summer Music Festival was as enjoyable as anyone could remember.

Music was an important part of Lilliland life and it was not something that was going to be taken lightly. The Baron and the rest of the people loved the sounds of the Strauss waltzes.
