Letter to the Editor : Chair of Westcott fair reaffirms student participation

I appreciated the Sept. 20 The Daily Orange article written by Julia Terruso about Sunday’s Westcott Street Cultural Fair.

I would like to correct an impression that may have been given by the quotations from me. One of the bands on the Common Threads Stage at Taps, The Northbound Traveling Minstrel Jug Band, is made up of Syracuse University students. Also, in the parade at noon, there were several SU student drummers in the Samba Laranja group and three trumpeters from the SU band who wonderfully set off each stage of the parade.

We know a good number of SU students were at the fair, and we look forward to more participation by SU students in this community festival next year.

Grace Flusche, chair of the Westcott Street Cultural Fair committee
