1999 4th of July Celebration
The City of Chanhasscn's 4"~ of July Celebration is quickly approaching. All activities
will take place on Saturday, July 3r'l and Sunday, July 4th. I am enclosing a tentative
schedule of events with this memo. I am in thc process of finalizing a few items so we can
begin designing/coordinating 'all of our promotional materials for the event.
A total of six food vendors have been confirmed for this year's celebration. Vendors will
be serving cheese curds, sweet corn, gyro sandwiches, nachos, sno cones, funnel cakes,
soft drinks, beer and more. I will be working with each individual vendor to determine
power needs, space requirements, and all other physical arrangemenks~
This year's community parade will be held on Sunday, July 4 beginning at 2:30 p.m. The
parade route will remain the same as in 1998. Thc theme of this year's parade is
"Countdown to the Millennium." Both Jerry and I will be working with the parade
committee to ensure that the parade is successful and that it coincides with the rest of the
activities we have planned for the day.
Tile 4th of July logo design has been selected. Thc logo will be used for all of the
promotional material and T-shins. I will be securing a T-shin vendor within the next few
weeks.
Finally, il is my goal 1o have all 4th Of July promotional items out to the general public by
the first pan of June.
