@@@ 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.

-Construction is underway on South Puget Sound Community College s new Lacey campus, an $11 million project that Lacey officials expect to be a shot in the arm for the neighborhood and possibly fill long-vacant buildings.Work began last month and the project is expected to be finished in summer 2015, college spokeswoman Kellie Purce Braseth said.The college paid $4 million for the complex of five buildings on Sixth Avenue across from the Intercity Transit station, formerly known as Rowe Six.The plan is to transform the 50,000-square-foot Building 1, which faces Sixth Avenue, into an entrepreneurial center. It will combine the college s Small Business Development Center and the Thurston County Economic Development Council in a single destination to support entrepreneurs and business start-ups.The EDC, its staff and services will move into the new building, EDC Executive Director Michael Cade said.The organization <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Crystal-Christian-Louboutin>Crystal Christian Louboutin</a>  also plans to work with several community partners such as chambers of commerce, the city of Lacey, The Evergreen State College and Saint Martin s University, Joint Base Lewis-McChord and Enterprise for Equity.But Building 1 also will be home to corporate and continuing education staff and classes, as well as other classrooms, computer labs and student services, Purce Braseth said.The college also will occupy Buildings 2 and 3. Building No. 3 will be home to an advanced manufacturing program. Meanwhile, Buildings 4 and 5 likely will be demolished to make way for either parking or a new building, she said.In all, about 11,000 people will use the campus. The estimate combines students taking credit classes and others, such as state workers, participating in training.City officials hope that influx of people will inject some life into the Woodland District and <a href=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=True-Religion-Skinny>True Religion Jeans Sale</a>  specifically, Woodland Square Loop. Woodland Square Loop surrounds Huntamer Park, and many nearby office buildings have significant vacancies, the result of the recession and downsizing. Several of those buildings have a new owner: MJR Development of Kirkland.The city of Lacey also recently announced a plan to sublease from the college about 1,000 square feet in Building 2 to create a military service <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Leather>Michael Kors Leather</a>  center.The city has a memorandum of understanding with veterans centers in Tacoma and Federal Way to provide services in Lacey, with an emphasis on behavioral health. The center is expected to open in October.Meanwhile, SPSCC s existing Lacey campus is on Hawks Prairie between Marvin Road and Galaxy Drive. The college has leased the space since 1995, but in 2005 it purchased property off Marvin Road and set out to build a new campus. Since then, economic changes have taken the college in a new direction.The Marvin Road property, for which the college paid $6.2 million, is for sale, Purce Braseth said.
