The operators of the original iconic festival say they weren't consulted before news of its rebirth.Fry Street Fair was once a major event in music-loving Denton. New organizers hope it will be again.Fry Street, once the heart of music in Denton, will soon be home to the new Fry Street Fair in April.that Fry Street Fair organizer and Dirty Dick’s Bar owner Andy Saunders had the blessing of the Delta Lodge, the musical festival's former operator.
“I know how to get a hold of them, they’re probably not going to like it, but I know how to get a hold of them,” Saunders said. He found old fair photos on Flickr and shared those on Instagram in a post that reads: “Join us in welcoming back an iconic event!” Saunders said he did this “just to spark a fire, and it worked.” This was the festival's first post on Instagram, on Feb. 26.
Bowe says she cannot confirm or deny those accusations without knowing what contracts are being referenced. “It’s definitely possible,” she said. “I want to offer to take a look at any lingering issues from 20 years ago and make them right.” Bowe said the same offer was made in the initial meeting with Saunders.
Kaastad says it took 25 years of evolution and self-draining to get Fry Street Fair to the point where it was. “It became so top-heavy that it was nearly impossible to pull off because of all the fingers in the pie, including several fingers from the city of Denton.” Saunders said that he has been thinking about this idea for years, but actual planning started about 16 months ago. The team is made up of two people: Saunders and an event coordinator. Saunders said they are working on vendors, volunteers, staff and advertising materials this week.
“I was assured this was going to be an homage to the Delta Lodge,” Bowe said. “I appreciate where the ideas are coming from, and I appreciate that it’s trying to be repeated.”
