  1. Some day the committee for fall fun fest will consider the Jewish holiday of rosh ashona and not have it coincide with the holiday. Would u do it for Christmas. I think not.

  2. Rosh Hashanah starts at sundown Sunday. That’s plenty of time to attend fun fest all day Saturday, and anytime before sundown Sunday.
