GILBERT, Minn. - Promoting this town's proud history is one thing. Naming the town's festival Gilbert Whorehouse Days is another thing entirely.
A group of angry citizens showed up at a City Council meeting Tuesday to protest the event. The festival's name refers to a time when Gilbert was known for its bars, gambling and "working girls" during Prohibition.
"The damage has been done," resident Fran Marolt said. "This is not a family-oriented activity."
The event doesn't include any of the activities that gave the festival its name, but City Council members still don't approve. ..................................

Do you think they really thought people would say "Honey,get the kids in the car-were off to WHOREHOUSE DAYS!!!!"
