•Huge crowd turns up for Granville Street party
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - The man behind last night's wildly popular gold medal anniversary party on Granville Street says he was surprised by the turnout given the heavy snowfall, but he is not taking much credit for it.
Gary Lachance insists the party took off on its own. "We didn't event organize the initial party. It was thousands of people in Vancouver through Facebook, just expressing their desire to come out and have a great time and it will probably happen on its own again."
Lachance can't say whether he plans to issue the same kind of Facebook invitation next year though.
There is no word on how many arrests for rowdiness were made last night.
Concerns were raised by the city about crowd control and the need for washrooms, once they learned of the party. It's not clear if Lachance will face a fine for not having the proper permits to hold the party.作者: tiffiant 時間: 2011-2-27 18:57
