SpaceNeedle Reviewed by SpaceNeedle on . SEATTLE Hempfest 2007 I just heard some disturbing news. It is not at all sure, that there is going to be a Hempfest this year. I have been told some environmentalists are objecting/complaining to the city that the people did a lot damage to the park. Sounds to me like there is only a 50/50 chance that they the nation's largest hempfest may not even get off the ground this year. Does anyone know anything more about this matter? Rating: 5
