I wanted to give you an update on Music In The Parks and the <br /> JAM. <br /> THE GOOD <br /> All contracts (except mine, go figure) have been signed and formally accepted by the city, so <br /> Music In The Park season 6 in locked down, on budget, including the$350 that will go to the <br /> Musicians Guild. My daughter will finish the flyers these next two weekends and I will begin <br /> distributing early May. I will be doing several media blasts on a few social networks and web <br /> pages I've been finding. I will also request a little help from our friend Deb Barnes to get the <br /> word out, as well as talk to Teresa about the front sign. <br /> I don't know if P&R has talked any further about getting a generic banner made,but that would <br /> also be helpful in getting good turn outs. <br /> THE BAD <br /> After a long conversation with John Thill, I was informed that the Lions will NOT be doing a <br /> street dance this year,just the soft ball tournament. They are focusing all of their energy on what <br /> makes money. The street dance, has been a loser most years because of weather. (and way, <br /> way over paying for talent) <br /> THE UGLY <br /> There will also be no Lions support for the JAM. Without their help, there is no stage, no <br /> canopy, no power,no lighting, no seating or tables, no food or beer sales. When I pressed for <br /> "something", Mr. Thill told me that if I held the JAM and was able to attract a decent crowd, the <br /> Lions MIGHT be willing pull a keg or maybe even after the ball games,the beer trailer down to <br /> the rink,but that'd have to be "worth their while". Otherwise the beer trailer and concession stand <br /> will be up by the ball fields, closing when the games are over. <br /> 1 <br />
