'Unfriendly Village' now friendly once again

There was some major unfriendliness going on in Fallbrook two weeks ago. Someone stole the banner regarding the Fallbrook Americana Music Series (FAMS) concert from the side of Joe’s Hardware on the corner of Main and Fallbrook Street.

They must have done it in the dark of the night and climbed up on a tall ladder or someone’s strong shoulders. Taking it down from the wall wasn’t an easy job. It was a low blow to one of Fallbrook’s nicest cultural events.

FAMS absorbs most of its costs so the performing artists can take home as much money as possible. Willfully stealing our major advertising vehicle is a very unfriendly thing to do. Moreover, the organization had planned on giving the banner to the artists after the concert.

In a gesture worthy of the Friendly Village, Jim Fahnestock of Jim’s Sign Shop donated a second banner to replace the one stolen, even though the concert is over.
