Is the King Mango Strut dead?

Lots of strange news coming from the King Mango Strut.Their bank account has been frozen by the treasurer and there are siding factions. Some want to keep the parade the same, some want to make it even larger.

As of now there is no parade planned for this year, but hopefully this will all come to a head and the show will go on. First the peacocks now this? We need out institutions to remain! Both combined last year as you can see here, that's Peer Everett, Strut committee member.

I don't know about you, but I thought last year's parade was one of the best. I know that they never wanted any commercial advertising or ventures involved, so hopefully things will remain the size and pace that they were.

This clash of egos must stop. The Grove has started so many new and great things this year from the block party to the Great Grove Bed Race, it would be depressing and stupid to see the number one Grove signature event die.

If money is the issue ($22,000 is frozen) can't they start a money raising campaign right now? The block party and the bed race did it within months, why can't the Strut?
