“Freakfest 2007,” the informal name for the Halloween party on State Street this fall, was the first item on the city’s Street Use Staff Team meeting Wednesday morning.
As in 2006, the party will be fenced and gated along the length of State Street and access permitted only with a ticket — this being the city’s response to the early-morning disturbances of the previous four years. Unlike last year, though, the event organizer is not the city, but Frank Productions, a national concert promoter based in Madison.
