Music Schedule 2011 The 2011 Schedule will be the 2nd and 4th Fridays during the Spring and Fall. (except for the first month which will be the 2nd and 3rd Fridays. This was because the park was already reserved for a wedding on the 4th Friday. Confused yet? )

We are asking for $5 donations (per adult) at the information tent. This will be used to help cover event costs. Bring $5 bills or a credit card to make life easy on the volunteers. For those that donate online, simple provide your name and they will hand you the number of wrist bands that you need.

The details. ( Yes, we know only 15% of the people get this far into the details, but here it is…)

- You can bring your own beer and wine. - Limit 1- 6 pack of beer or one bottle of wine per person. - Must be 21 or over to consume alcohol. - No kegs or group coolers please. ( use common sense ) - No liquor. (This really means no liquor, you know who you are. Hiding it does not count. It is illegal and is a violation of our liability insurance. Everyone in the group will be asked to leave so don’t get your friends all upset at you for sneaking it in..) - No, we can’t sell beer right now, not until we become a Federal 501 (3c ). A local microbrewery might be able to sell under their ABC permits, but we haven’t had any takers. - Food trucks will be there to feed people. ( check out the food truck page when it goes up ) - The Italian Icy guy will be there again. - Parents, your responsible for watching your kids. - scooters and bikes – not the place for it, but the kids have the huge lawn to run around on. - Dogs on lease? Yes. ( gotta be ready to pick up the dog droppings ) - Dogs off lease? No - Rescue dogs to introduce to people? sorry, No..The crowd is to stressful for them,we have kids and it’s crazy environment. It just does not work -monkeys, has not been an issue. Actually it would be pretty cool to have one come out. - you can bring your own food and snacks? - we will accept $100 in the donation boxes? $1 bills will also work. - Do you need event day volunteers? Yes.. we have lots of fun - Can I help with planning and organizing? Yes, please… the more the merrier. - What happens when it rains? Kids and dogs get wet. Band plays under the porch if they can fit.
