Area businesspeople’s views differ
about festival’s effect on revenues
By Matt Herek
Senior Editor__
Businesspeople in Lincoln’s Hay
market have mixed feelings about
how this weekend’s Summertime
Nebraska festival will affect their
revenues.
Tammy Fiedler, daytime manager
of Oscar’s bar in the Haymarket, said
she thinks this year’s festival will
help business at die bar.
Patrons wishing to drink alcohol
will have to go to the area bars to do
so, because alcohol will not be served
at this year’s festival.
But Anne Burkholder, of the Burk
holder project, said she thinks the
festival will not be profitable for her
26 studios or four galleries.
“The festival is a circle within
itself’ and people attending it don’t
frequent the area businesses much
during die festival, she said.
She said the loud music and the
beer at past festivals may have hurt
business in her building.
However, Burkholder said she
thinks the Summertime Nebraska
festival is good for the Haymarket
District itself because it promotes the
area.
“1 think these things belong here,”
she said.
Steve Haack of Blue Stem Books
said he doesn’t think the festival will
affect the bookstore.
The store has very few walk-in
customers, he said.
Even though the festival will in
-M-—
People at the city
don't understand
what we are about at
that store . . . The
retail is the bread
and butter that keeps
the lights on and the
men Jed.

-* f
traduce some people to the store, Haack
said, past festivals generally didn’t
affect business.
Major Sharon Stems, administra
tor of several Salvation Army thrift
stores in Lincoln, said the festival
probably will have an adverse effect
on the Haymarkct store.
“Our income goes clear down’’
during festivals, she said.
She attributed the loss in sales to
the overcrowding of streets in front of
the store.
She also said people and tables
block the fire escapes in the building,
which keeps 61 beds for homeless
men. The Salvation Army operates
an alcohol and chemical dependency
work therapy treatment program in
the building.
“People at the city don’t under
stand what we are about at that store, ’
she said.
‘ ‘The retail is the bread and butter
that keeps the lights on and the men
fed.”
Betty Winfrey, owner of the Hay
market General Store and Deli, said
revenue will go up during the festival
itself, and the festival also will help in
the long term because people will
come back to the store after they arc
exposed to what it offers.
“I think it (the festival) has been
good because we get a lot of return
customers from it,’’ she said.
The festival promotes the district
and helps business as a whole, she
said.
Carol Eddins, festival coordina
tor, said she didn’t know- how the
festival would affect Haymarket busi
nesses.
She said the area has been “very
responsive’’ to the festival, and die
expects turnout at the festival to be
good.
