Summer Shindig & Music in the Park
The group discussed two main options in terms of the Music in the Park/Summer
Shindig events:
1. Host 2 Music in the Parks and 2 Summer Shindigs (similar to what we did last year)
with clear marketing.
2. Host 4 Music in the Parks with snacks instead of meals (maybe booths) and shift
Summer Shindig to the city's Park After Dark series with full meals and booths.
The second option was preferred amongst the group.
Staff will connect with leadership and this group will reconvene to discuss the 2nd
week of December.
Any changes to grant proposals for future years and events would have to be done by
March.
a. Food & Funding
b. Community booths
c. Marketing
Group agreed to have clear communication in all marketing regarding what events are
offering.
