The meeting was standing room only, as residents and business owners asked questions and provided comments to commissioners on the impact the festival could have on the Buena Vista area.

The festival would run Aug. 4-8 and is being organized by Madison House Presents Inc., which put on the Gentlemen of the Road festival in Salida last year.

During public comments, property owners near the Meadows Farm expressed concerns about property damage, noise and lighting issues, traffic and safety and lack of notice about the festival, along with the 2:30 a.m. festival curfew.
