COMSTOCK, Neb. (AP) – The organizer of the Comstock Music Festivals has put off its 2011 events until next summer.
A statement on the festivals’ website cited financial issues for the postponement of the August concerts.
It also says those who already bought tickets to the festivals can request a refund or use them in 2012.  The dates for the 2012 festivals are: Country Fest, May 31-June 3; Rock Fest, July 12-15; and Christian Fest, Aug. 2-4.  Henry Nuxoll founded the music festivals near Comstock in 2000.  They pulled in thousands of people over the years.  But Nuxoll ran into financial trouble in 2008. He pleaded guilty
to writing bad checks to vendors and was ordered to serve four years’ probation and pay nearly $100,000 in restitution.  The festival has since changed hands.
