1996 Fourth of July Celebration
Chanhassen's annual Fourth of July Celebration will be Wednesday and Thursday, July ,3 and 4.
The street dance, trade fair, kids games, etc. will be Wednesday, July 3 at City Center Park. The
fireworks, fishing festivals, and family fun day will be Thursday, July 4 at Lake Ann Park.
Last week the tent, table and chairs bid specifications were mailed to the necessary vendors for
the Fourth of July. The bid will be accepted by January 24. I have begun to book performers and
put together the schedule of events. I would like to discuss with the Park & Recreation
Commission what events they would like to see added or deleted. Would the Park & Recreation
Commission like to keep booking the Hi-Tops for the street dance or is another group preferred?
Another item is the development of the artwork for the promotional material. Last year a student
designed the logo for the event. Is the design something the Park & Recreation would like to
continue or do we need a professional to develop it?
The bid specifications for the fireworks display will go out this week or early next week for our
show on July 4. The display will increase in size from last year and promises to be a spectacular
show.
Please let me know if you would like to implement any changes.
