We're lucky to have CVD, let alone the parade and rodeo

I've lived in the Conejo Valley for 30 years and have been actively involved in Conejo Valley Days for the last six years.

This year, I'm the on-site chairman and I'm also saddened by not having a parade and rodeo.

However, what a lot of people don't realize is that after our 50th anniversary last year, there was a very good chance that there would be no Conejo Valley Days at all this year.

For CVD to continue, some decisions had to be made. So a group of people got together and worked many long volunteer hours trying to preserve CVD. They should be complimented, not criticized.

I don't think people should criticize decisions unless they know all of the facts and figures behind them.

If you're disappointed, get involved and help us.

I, for one, would like to thank the many people who have worked so hard this year so that we can continue Conejo Valley Days.
