Updated June 25: The Town of Port Royal has released an RFP in search of an events manager for The Shed.

Responses to the RFP are due back to the town by Aug. 10.

Reported June 10: It was with much hope that the community heard the Town of Port Royal would revive the long-ailing Shed event venue — but that was only half the battle.

I'll shoot you on over to The Island Packet for a solid report.
