Kudos go to the support and technical teams and volunteers who managed to keep water levels under control so that the programs could continue.<br \/>\nA very special thanks must be given to George and Sher St. Kitts for organizing and hosting this marvellous event.<br \/>\nWe would also like to thank Aurora Councillors who voted against the Aurora Jazz Festival and thus deprived the community of holding this wonderful festival in our own backyard. We will not forget your questionable decisions on Election Day.<br \/>\nAurora Councillors, and especially Councillor Buck, rejected the Aurora Jazz Festival for questionable reasons, such as fencing in Town Park, and then approved fencing for Ribfest. Just a little bit of hypocrisy. <\/p>\n<p><strong>P.
