Sept. 29, 2016 Staff Report
The annual Oktoberfest event that was scheduled to be held at Sunnyside Gardens Park on Saturday has been canceled in anticipation of bad weather.
A rain date had been set for Sunday but the organizers elected to scrap the event in anticipation of poor weather all weekend.
The festival is typically held every year and it is a celebration of the beginning of fall. The event consists of a craft fair, a pumpkin patch, and the traditional wine, beer and bratwurst.

didn’t rain on the rain day (sun) either. Don’t really think they wanted to let the hoi polloi in….
That crew in charge there now are shady as hell. Corrupt leadership.
That’s the consensus.
Who cares
didn’t even rain.
The neighborhood neo-nazis are disappointed.
Thanks Obama.
Letting a bit of rain put a halt to a full day binge drinking does not sound like Sunnyside.
It’s not really an Oktoberfest anyway. They all drink stupid craft pale ales
all the SSG moms can get wasted elsewhere in Sunnyside at one of the many pubs. They never have a problem finding liquor.
Nice spelling. Cancelled
The second L was too sad to show up.
I love the dislike here. Perfect.
Actually, might be because both canceled and cancelled are correct. Decent amount of articles on it, but I figure the Merriam Webster site should be enough proof (check under verbs):

Apparently, it’s related to the conversion of British English to American English (as in other examples like ‘flavour’).
The more you know!

One L is the preferred spelling with the majority of US publishers.
That’s ridiculous. It’s the fault of hipsters, yuppies, trust fund babies, homeless people, Mexicans, Jimmy Van Beamer, dog owners, Pat Dorfnan,nail salon owners. Did I leave out any of the usual suspects who are blamed for everything in this neighborhood. Oh yeh greedy landlords. That covers about every letter written to this blog.
You forgot whiny liberals, moronic republicans, and the public garden club.
How about the guy who keeps opening Peruvian restaurants.
You left out subway masturbators
you forgot to include the “chaaaaaange” bum,
