BUTTON CONTEST/ SALES — <br />Sherri Timmons and CC Schuldt from the Mounds View Square Merchants Association have <br />taken on the task of a Button Contest. Coordinating with Sunnyside and Pinewood Elementary <br />Schools, children will be given the chance to design a "Theme Button" for this year's Festival. <br />A winner will be chosen from the entries and button circles will be printed. Mounds View Girl <br />Scouts, working for a badge, will then make up the buttons. Buttons can then be sold in <br />Mounds View businesses with proceeds going to help fund youth oriented Festival in the Park <br />events. <br />"Festival in the Park " Week - during the week preceding the Festival it is hoped that local <br />businesses will offer discounts (left up to each individual business) for people wearing their <br />"Festival in the Park" button into their establishment. Example: Free beverage with the <br />purchase of a Whopper; or free cup of coffee with a purchase of two donuts, etc. for people <br />wearing a Festival button. IF YOUR BUSINESS WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE, PLEASE <br />CALL SHARIE LINKE AT 784-0618. The more businesses participating the better! Busi- <br />nesses participating in the button sales, "Festival in the Park" Week discounts, and/or any <br />Festival events will be mentioned in all Festival advertisements in local papers, city newsletter, <br />flyers and more! <br />THERE'S ROOM FOR MORE — <br />At this point, the following "Festival in the Park" activities have been planned or anticipated: <br />- Button Contest <br />• Charity Softball Tournament <br />• "Festival in the Park" Parade <br />To be completed prior to end of school year. <br />Mounds View Square Merchants will coordinate <br />with schools and Girls Scouts <br />Time to be determined - Mounds View Antiques <br />1:00 p.m <br />• Fire Dept. vs Police Dept.
