• Comment: No indication of notability. Sources are primary and/or non-independent (including several copies of the same press release) and for a one-off local event such as this there would have to be multiple secondary sources providing significant coverage of the event.
    In addition, the draft is written in a very promotional tone. That could be fixed by editing the text, but the lack of notability can't. bonadea contributions talk 13:59, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
