Default Why the Early closing of Spanish Springs Sq tonight?

Spouse informs me he was at Spanish Springs Sq tonight for the music. At 8:35 the musicians announced they were told to stop, and did. On his way out of the square he noted extra barriers and flashing lights were near TooJays.

I was there as well line dancing with my friends. I was told by someone in the know that he wasn't allowed to say. I asked if we could be in danger and he said could be. So I just left. I thought maybe someone had a gun. Minutes before the announcement I saw a couple of hut workers in a big tizzy about something. They looked alarmed.

Default It helps so much to tell us who told you on matters that get people all fearful.

Someone in the know? If you can, please tell us who. Then we can either worry more or less that some evil force has taken over this wonderful. safe, friendly, place.

"Someone in the know but was not allowed to say"

I need to sleep on that and see if it sounds as dumb (not the post or poster) in the morning. I wonder how that someone found out?

He was there. He's an employee. I went up and asked him what was going on. His answer was he could not tell me. It just happened.

Bomb threat ends show early at Katie Belles

January 14, 2014 By Meta Minton Leave a Comment
There are reports that Katie Belles and Spanish Springs Town Square shut down entertainment a little early Monday night due to a bomb threat.
Well-known entertainer Donna Moore was performing her popular show with Dunning Shaw at Katie Belles Monday night.
Nothin like a bomb threat to end the show, Moore posted on her Facebook page.
A Dec. 1 bomb threat forced the evacuation of MVP athletic club and Gators Dockside restaurant, also in Spanish Springs.
In that case, authorities arrested 28-year-old Anthony Borrell of Ocoee. He is now facing a felony charge of false report about planting a bomb. He posted $4,000 and is out on bond.

In defense of Donna Moore, she didn't really say it was at KB's. She stated that they ended the show early because of a bomb threat. It could have been anywhere in the square.

I wonder who a prime suspect might be?

Why would anyone be told to keep something like that quiet? It puts people in danger.

And what was the purpose of the post pointing that out?
