Art & Wine Festival Not yet assigned Notes from 2003: "party favors" (colorful necklaces) were a
2006 good draw for children who brought parents. Ifhot, consider
Info booth spray bottles/portable battery fans. Need large Fine Arts
Commission sign on the booth, there were too many city logos
(may now be Jubilee banner alone was not sufficient. Paperweights needed. 400 flyers
Sept 16-17) each will be sufficient. Consider gift bags, people didn't want to
take too many flyers. Very successful, great public outreach.

Cali Mill Plaza Park dedication, but will reconsider in future.
