While recently the event has <br />been very well attended by families participating in the summer recreation <br />programs, there is some question about the event's appeal to the community <br />as a whole. In an effort to compliment this event, the '97 budget includes <br />money designated for a series of special events to be held in each of the <br />city's neighborhood parks and at the school grounds. The purpose of these <br />events is to conduct asocial /recreational event in each of the parks, <br />providing residents with an opportunity to visit and gather with friends and <br />neighbors of their respective neighborhood. <br />The commission may want to discuss a potential schedule for the event <br />series, possible themes and activities, and potential music performers. A <br />musician's trust fund is available to provide financial assistance for public <br />performances by professional musicians. Local musicians, school groups, <br />and community based groups might be considered as well. <br />
