Fun Fourth, Zack and Mike Barber; “It’s a perfect mix in building up to what they will have in August,” Matheny said. He declined to reveal the [Wyndham Championship] sponsorship amount.

"Downtown Greensboro Inc., the economic development organization focused on center city, has taken over managing the free July 4 celebration and secured a new sponsor: the Wyndham Championship.

Barber's First Tee income is dependent on the City of Greensboro 
via the Bryan Foundation and the City of Greensboro funded Gillespie Golf Course 
and Jim's Bryan Foundation funds the Wyndham Championship via Mark Brazil, 
who sits on both the Wyndham and First Tee of the Triad's boards,
both funded by Jim Melvin's Bryan Foundation.

...DGI will take over Fun Fourth and December’s Festival of Lights from Grassroots Productions Limited, which is winding down operations.

...The festival budget is more than $100,000, not counting close to $20,000 for fireworks, Matheny said.

To manage the festival, Matheny hired Shayla and Desmond Sharpe of Sharpe Pursuits Inc. The Greensboro-based business handles event planning, management and production.

Longtime Grassroots employees Peggy Hickle and Brenda Studt work as consultants, bringing years of festival experience.

What are the costs of the four employees?

Are the employee costs in the $100,000?

...Matheny is excited about Wyndham Championship’s sponsorship, and returning the concert and fireworks to downtown. The Wyndham, part of the PGA Tour, will be played in August at Sedgefield Country Club.

Mike Barber didn't disclose his financial interest
in Wyndham subsidized First Tee of the Triad's use of free City funded services
on his Council Economic Interest Disclosure signed on February 24, 2014,
while funding police and emergency services for the Wyndham Championship
while/after recieving monies from the Wyndham Championship to fund his income
via First Tee of the Triad, and tonight he's going to vote to have Zack Matheny run DGI

with taxpayer monies he also uses to fund his personal income

“It’s a perfect mix in building up to what they will have in August,” Matheny said. He declined to reveal the sponsorship amount."

Why wouldn't Zack want to disclose how much money the Wyndham is putting up?

How much is the Bryan Foundation putting up?

It's all the same group of friends
