_11-eYV1 6 <br /> ID <br /> MEMO TO: MAYOR & COUNCILMEMBERS <br /> FROM: MARY SAARION <br /> DATE: FEBRUARY 28, 1991 <br /> SUBJECT: FESTIVAL IN THE PARK OPTIONS <br /> Listed in this memorandum are several options for implementing a Festival in the Park <br /> without expense to the City. The activities and possible sponsors are listed. <br /> Cost of rental of the showmobile: $250.00 could be paid for with the receipts of the <br /> craft fair reservations. Twenty-five reservations at $10.00 each would pay for the <br /> rental of the showmobile. <br /> Entertainment : Westbound Band would most likely be happy to play during the later <br /> afternoon time for about a 3 hour stretch at a fee of$500.00. The money for this <br /> • expense could be solicited from local merchants working in a strategy that the <br /> merchants would benefit from advertisements. <br /> Local entertainment: Other options for local entertainment could be pursued. Such <br /> groups as the steel drum band, perhaps the high school band or part thereof, a talent <br /> show and opportunity for other local talent groups to perform could be advertised and <br /> available as an opportunity for talent display. <br /> Fireworks : The Lion's Club would be asked to contribute the_elitire_amou-nt_fo-rthe <br /> fireworks display, $5,000. <br /> Activities : Again, we could continue to encourage community groups and <br /> organizations to participate in activities as fund raisers for their particular organization. <br /> In the past, such groups have organized cake walks, carnival type games, athletic <br /> contest booths such as ball throws, food booths including pizza, queens apples, candy, <br /> hot dogs, pop, corn - on - the - cob and other specialties. Groups have also held family <br /> type games such as Bingo. These groups include the churches, PTO's, high school clubs, <br /> athletic organizations and community groups such as the Lion's and Lioness Clubs. <br /> demonstrations : Many groups are looking for places to demonstrate their skills or <br /> interests. In the past the Festival has had the Antique Car Club show their cars, a <br /> square dancing group has held a dance exhibition, aerial models have flown our skies, <br />
