Well Eric, while this sort of thing does happen occasionally for whatever reasons, sometimes the opposite happens too.

This past January I attended NELL's LHHC & You event. Our first stop of the day on Saturday was at the Hospital Point Lighthouse. We had been granted permission in advance to enter the grounds for photos. But when we arrived Vice Admiral Pekoske (who lives at the lighthouse)gratiously opened the tower for us as well. In addition he turned on the light in the tower so that we could more easily appreciate the lens in action.

I'm sure we've all encountered similar experiences, times when we've been disappointed but most likely times when we've been more than pleased by lighthouse "events".

Your first post mentioned 6 events. Were they all "not as advertised"? If so we've only heard details on one.
