Evangelists Win Narrow Settlement Victory In Alaska Park Dispute

According to KTUU News, a father-daughter evangelist team have won a narrow victory in the settlement of their lawsuit against the city of Girdwood, Alaska.  They sued challenging the city's "No dogs, no politics, no religious orders" requirement at Girdwood's annual Forest Fair. (See prior posting.) Under the settlement, the city will allow the evangelists to distribute leaflets in the park that is used by Forest Fair. However whether they will be able to proselytize at Forest Fiar itself next year will be up to the Fair's promoters.  A city attorney said that control of the park during events like the Fair in in the hands of the organization that has received a permit to stage the event.
