Gilbert, Minn. (AP) Whorehouse Days took another hit at the Gilbert City Council meeting last night.
The council voted against renting city buildings for the event -- a celebratory look back at a time during Prohibition when the town was known for its bars, gambling and prostitutes.
Mayor Bob Garrity Jr. said a group's request to use the community center and arena for the July festivities was too vague.
The council requested representation from the group planning the event at the meeting. But no one showed up.
A letter submitted to the city said the community center would be used for a production of a play entitled "The Best Little Whorehouse in Gilbert" -- a takeoff on the production "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas."
The arena would be used for an antique fair and antique car show. Other events would include a best-dressed madame contest and an attempt to build the world's longest bar.

If Bill Clinton is invited and comes, the whole event will be a hit. I'd bet Slick Willy would be more than willing. Just like going to Hot Springs. Yeah! _________________ 8th Army Korea 68-69 |
