Lakewood Bills Gay Games $3,400
According to Lakewood Village Administrator Catherine Peterson, the Gay Games have been billed $3,384.53 for village expenses for its Crystal Lake Regatta.The original estimate was $5,000, but fewer prople showed up at the Gay Games than the worst case estimate.
As a result, Lake Avenue was not closed for the day.
“At this point we have no reason to believe we will not be paid,” Peterson told McHenry County Blog.
Two messages were left with Crystal Lake's Deputy City Manager George Koczwara asking how much had been billed, but no reply had been received when this article was posted.The Ctystal Lake Park District collected its fee prior to the beginning of the Gay Games Regatta.
