(THEY WERE A BIT LATE IN COMING, BUT THEY SHOWED UP)…THE HUMIDITY AND THREATS OF POSSIBLE THUNDERSHOWERS KEPT THE CROWD AWAY UP UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE LAST NIGHT, BUT WHEN SHOWTIME ARRIVED, THEY WERE THERE. THE PRELIMINARY CROWD ESTIMATE FOR LAST NIGHTS FREEDOM FEST WAS THAT IT WAS AT LEAST AS LARGE AS IT WAS LAST YEAR. THAT CROWD WAS ESTIMATED AT AROUND 60,000. FREEDOM FEST ORGANIZER GENE BRISTER SAID HE WAS VERY SATISFIED WITH THIS YEARS EVENT. THE ANNUAL EVENT IS PRODUCED AND UNDERWRITEN BY FM 107 ON BEHALF OF THE CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE IN WESTMORLAND, HOLTVILLE, IMPERIAL, BRAWLEY, EL CENTRO AND CALEXICO. THE LATE ARRIVING, BUT VERY WELL BEHAVED CROWD APPEARED TO HAVE ENJOYED THE FESTIVITIES. COMMENTS FROM MANY WERE THAT IT WAS THE MOST INCREDIBLE FINALE EVER. SAFETY WORKERS, MAINLY FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, SAID THE SHOW WENT WELL, WITH OUT A MAJOR INCIDENCE BEING REPORTED.
