2010 February Festival
The City of Chanhassen's seventeenth annual February Festival is rapidly
approaching. The format for the event will be new this year, with several changes
to the event. These changes include increasing the number of fish prizes awarded,
elimination of door prizes associated with the fishing contest, and addition of a
free door prize drawing for all event participants. Once again a 30' x 45' tent will
be used for concessions, weigh station, prizes, and bingo. The use of the larger
tent is possible thanks to a financial contribution from the Friends of the
Chanhassen Library.
The schedule of events brochure was processed in-house by Karen and her staff
again this year. Thank you to them for helping in this process.
Information and event brochures will be sent to past participants. Our advertising
schedule will consist of: One display ad in the Chanhassen Villager (1/28/10)
and Chaska Herald (1/28/10); two schedule of events inserts in the Chanhassen
Villager (1/21/1 0 and 2/4/1 0); and a Thank You ad in the Chanhassen Villager
(2/11/10).
The fishing contest has many great prizes again this year! The fish prizes will be
awarded to the 50 largest fish and total $6,000 in value. Free door prize tickets
will be distributed at the event (one per person), with prizes totaling $3,000 in
value. These will be awarded by a random drawing throughout the fishing contest
and all event participants are eligible to receive a ticket. Youth and adult fishing
tickets are being sold for $10.00 each (Limit 2). Tickets are being sold at City
Hall, Byerly's, Cub, Chanhassen Recreation Center, Cabin Fever Sporting Goods,
and Ivan's Sinclair and Bait & Tackle.
