1997 Fourth of July Celebration
Todd Hoffman, Parks and Recreation Director
Jerry Ruegemer, Recreation Supervisor ~~~.~
Chanhassen's 4th of July Celebration will be Thursday and Friday, July 3rd and 4th. All activities
will be at City Center Park on July 3rd and Lake Ann Park on July 4th.
The Chanhassen Rotary will be selling beer and softdrinks and other vendors will be selling corn
dogs, popcorn, mini-donuts, nacho's, sno cones, cotton candy and more. I believe the new food
court will be well embraced.
Friday's activities have been scheduled to take place throughout the day at Lake Ann Park. To
allow people to attend the community parade, most activities have been scheduled with a break
during that time. After the parade, the Hula Hoop and Limbo contest and the Inner Tube Relays will
take place. The day will be capped offwith the fabulous fireworks.
Promotions for the 4th of July Celebration include a schedule of events insert in the Chanhassen
Villager newspaper and distributed around town; ads in the Chanhassen Villager and Victoria
Gazette; six plywood 4th of July signs have been placed in various locations of the City; a banner
by St. Hubert's; and posters have also been distributed around town.
I have been confirming with vendors and suppliers and taking care of the l~ist minute details. The
celebration is #1 priority and will be receiving my full attention during the next few weeks.
