-CRESTED BUTTE, Colo. (CBS4/AP) - Bud Light鈥檚 controversial Whatever, USA festival in Crested Butte was a success, according to a town leader.
-Anheuser-Busch paid $500,000 to paint several blocks of a central street blue and otherwise temporarily revamp the town into fictional Whatever, USA, for its Up for Whatever campaign.
-Crested Butte Chief Marshal Tom Martin said the event went really well and there were only four arrests Saturday night.
- We prepared for the worst and we got the best, Martin said. 鈥淚 ve lived here 37 years and this previous weekend was one <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Vintage-Shopping-Bag-Optical.html>Gucci Optical</a>  of the coolest weekends I ve ever been here.
-Despite some residents being opposed to the town allowing the Bud Light event in their town, Martin said he thought most people had a good time.
- The majority of people here are really happy that it happened, he said.
-However there were some problems after the event ended. The more than 1,000 people who flew in to the small Colorado resort town for the filming of the Anheuser-Busch s Bud Light commercial had problems leaving the party Sunday evening.
-The company said the travel delays stemmed from a large number of people trying to depart the Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport after the two-day event.
-PHOTO GALLERY:
- With more than 1,200 consumers attending Whatever, USA, from all points across the country, it takes time to get through a smaller airport, Nick Kelly, a Bud Light spokesman, said in a statement. We have a process in place to have all of our guests make the return trip home as safely and smoothly as possible.
-Kelly said the company <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Envy-By-Mens-Jacket-Vintage-Handbags.html>Vintage Gucci Handbags</a>  offered to pay for accommodations for those miss connecting flights because of delays, but everybody was able to travel later Sunday night.
-A private security company fell behind on screening requirements for travelers leaving on chartered planes, Transportation Security Administration spokesman Ross Feinstein told .
-Some visitors complained about the delay on social media.
- I don t know exactly what happened, McKenna Reagan, from St. Paul Minn., told the newspaper. I know a lot of people were upset.
-Before the delays, some residents of the town didn t take too kindly to the secretive event arranged between Anheuser-Busch and town leaders but others embraced it.
-Martin said Bud Light was tremendous to work with and so was their security company, Patriot USA.
-Crested Butte, population 1,500, is more of a craft beer town, home to art <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Joy-Tote-Luggage-Hats.html>Gucci Joy Tote</a>  galleries, artists and second-home owners. There are no fast food restaurants or chain stores.
-For the weekend event, workers installed a sand volleyball court, a multistory cowboy boot statue, a gorilla and a director s chair that comfortably seats six people.
