-3 - <br />CONFLICTS <br />The July Festival date always seemed to conflict with the Aquatennial and other City <br />festivals, and family vacations. The September Festival conflicted with church <br />carnivals and the Vikings football game. This metropolitan area is besieged by various <br />festivals, events, bazaars, parades, etc. held on various weekends and special dates. <br />Conflicts will arise on any given date. <br />RECOMMENDATION FOR 1990 <br />If Council agrees that the "Festival in the Park" should continue to be held in <br />September, staff recommends that the chosen date be a Saturday rather than a Sunday <br />for three reasons: : <br />1. The "Festival" would not be competing with a televised Viking game. <br />2. The "Festival" would not interfere with church or Sunday School services. <br />3. Fireworks would be held on a non -school night, allowing children to stay up <br />longer for the fireworks display. <br />Staff wishes to discuss this recommendation at the October 16 agenda session to get a <br />feel for Council's desires for the 1990 "Festival in the Park". <br />MS/SL <br />
