@@@ 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-Belts-Online-Pocketbooks-Mens-Belts-Wholesale-Sunglasses.html>Mens Gucci Belts</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/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Outlet-Usa-Outlet-Online-Shoes-Outlet.html>Gucci Outlet Usa</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-Belts-Sale-Baby-Men-Belts-Women-Sunglasses.html>Men Gucci Belts</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. Related Stories

-Teachers in the Highland School District, embroiled in tense contract negotiations with the district school board, voted this evening to reject the most recent offer and move forward with a strike.A union representative said 155 members attended a meeting to cast votes and 139 voted to decline the offer.District Superintendent Mike Sutton advises parents to expect a strike beginning Thursday. All buildings but the <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php> michael kors sale</a>  main office will be closed, he said. "There will be no school-sponsored activities during the length of the strike and the only access to buildings will be to those that have contractual agreements with the school district," he said.The two sides met for about six hours on Monday night with a federal mediator present and both sides tendered proposals, Sutton said on Tuesday.No more meetings are scheduled, Sutton said, "but both sides have expressed willingness to come together <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php> michael kors sale</a>  at the discretion of the federal mediator."聽Neither he nor Highland Education Association President ShiAnne Shively would discuss details of the latest offers.鈥淲e are headed to a meeting now to discuss what the board had on the table,鈥?Shively said shortly before the start of this afternoon's 4 p.m. meeting at the Highland city library.A strike would be the first in the district's history. Shivley called the latest update "very disheartening."Teachers are demanding wage and benefit increases of 6 percent. They last got a pay raise in 2010.District officials, meanwhile, have offered a slight increase in benefits but not in wages.The district pays starting teachers $43,718 in salaries and benefits. (A salary for a starting teacher without benefits is $35,318.) The highest paid Highland teacher makes $106,308 in salaries and benefits.The union has asserted that the district鈥檚 fund balance of $4.6 million could cover wage and salary increases.However, Sutton has said that the fund balance could only cover such increases for a short while before running out.The two sides also differ on a longtime retirement benefit that provides for three years of 6 percent salary increases to any employee who gives three years notice of intent to <a href=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php>gucci outlet</a>  retire.Sutton says such a benefit is outdated and unrealistic in the face of the state's pension crisis.However, teachers have described the benefit as being both attractive to teachers and a cost-saver for the district in that it encourages higher-salaried staff to retire and to be replaced by less experienced teachers making less money.Valerie Schremp Hahn contributed information to this report.
