You asked what I was talking about. Those are penguins.
Spell it out for you? Sure

But, the government doesn't have the right to sponsor such an event. The people don't have the right to expect the government to promote or advertise their trip. They can do their own advertising without the government getting involved. THAT is the whole issue here.
No, the *government* was promoting it. That is the whole point. And yes, it isn't the place of the government to interfere one way or the other. But in this case, it did so.
People were promoting it. They are part of the state, so they're allowed to do that. The government can't force someone to go or penalize them for not going.
No. As part of a government function (in this case, the website), they aren't allowed to do that. You seem to keep missing the fact that the town government AGREED that they were wrong to promote the trip. No, if someone employed by the government decides they - on their own time and without using government resources - want to flog the trip, that's peachy.
Spelling out 'penguins' was cute. But I was actually more interested in why you thought I was confusing people with penguins.
