WE HAD OUR FUN IN THE SUN. EVENT. THIS WAS PART OF THE DISCOVERED DOWNTOWN SERIES. THIS WAS AN EVENT WHERE WE REALLY WANT TO FOCUS ON BRINGING IN SOME WATER FEATURES. UM IT'S YOU
[00:05:03]
KNOW, OBVIOUSLY 100 DEGREES JUST ABOUT EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO TRANSFORM THE TOWN HALL PARKING LOT, AND WE WERE ABLE TO ADD, UM YOU KNOW, IF YOU GIANT WATER SLIDES A BOUNCE HOUSE. YOU KNOW, WE BROUGHT OUT SOME FROZEN ICE CREAM DIPPING DOTS AND KONA SHAVED ICE. AND SO, UM, HERE'S SOME PICTURES. WE ALSO HAD SOME FACE PAINTING GOING ON. SO THESE ARE SOME PICTURES FROM THE EVENT. ENDED UP WITH AROUND 200 TO 250 PEOPLE, WHICH, UM WE WERE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WITH CONSIDERING HOW HOT IT IS. UM SO THIS WAS A SUCCESSFUL EVENT ANDE DISCOVERED DOWNTOWN. UM BUT, YEAH, IT WAS A GREAT DAY. IT WAS A THREE HOUR EVENT AND, UM, DEFINITELY THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX ON ONE OF THESE EVENTS, SO WE WERE LIKE WE WERE VERY HAPPY ABOUT THE ATTENDANCE THERE. SO WE HAD SOME KIDS WITH SOME ADULTS. WE HAVE THE C C. THE TREAT ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE OUT THERE AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS OUT THERE. WHERE AND THEN ALSO MAYOR BRISTOL. SO IT WAS A IT WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL EVENT. AND THEN OUR THIRD EVENT. COMING UP IS THE PAUSE ON BROADWAY EVENT. THIS IS A THE EVENT WERE RUNNING FROM ONE PM TO FOUR PM ON SEPTEMBER 10TH. DOG FOCUSED EVENT. AND BASICALLY, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME DIFFERENT FEATURES. WE'RE LOOKING TO HAVE A SMALL FENCED AN OBSTACLE COURSE FOR SOME OF THE DOGS. WE'RE GONNA HAVE A SMALL STAGE WHERE WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE A COUPLE OF PERFORMANCES FROM A LOCAL GROUP AND THEN ALSS , SO WE ARE ENCOURAGING EVERYONE YOU KNOW, LEAVES THEIR DOGS REALLY THE ONLY AREA THAT WE WOULD YOU KNOW, BE OKAY WITH NOT LEASING IS IN THE FENCED IN AREA SO THEY AREN'T ABLE TO RUN OFF. BUT LIKE SAYS FROM ONE PM TO FOUR PM ON SEPTEMBER 10TH. AND WE'RE DEFINITELY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT WILL BE ON BROADWAY STREET , SO WE WILL BE USING THE TOWN HALL PARKING LOT, UM FOR GENERAL PARKING, PUBLIC PARKING. WE'LL HAVE A COUPLE OF FOOD VENDORS OUT THERE AS WELL. AND SO WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS ONE. THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST DOG FOCUSED, SPECIAL EVENT THAT THE TOWN IS HOSTED. SO WE ACTUALLY PURCHASE UM, ROLLOUT ARTIFICIAL TURF THAT WE USED FOR THE FUN IN THE SUN. WE PUT IT IN BETWEEN THE INFLATABLE, SO IT JUST ALLOWED BECAUSE IT WAS ALL CONCRETE OUT THERE, SO JUST ALLOWED AN AREA FOR THE KIDS TO KIND OF WALK IN BETWEEN, AND YOU KNOW, NOT FURTHER FEET, BUT WE'RE GOING TO BRING OUT THE SAME THING FOR THE DOGS AND JUST KIND OF HAVE IT SET UP IN THE BROADWAY AND AREAS WHERE THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF TRAFFIC ON THAT WAS DEFINITELY A THOUGHT THAT WE HAD WHEN WE WERE PLAYING THIS THING OUT BECAUSE SEPTEMBER 10TH. WE'RE STILL PROBABLY LOOKING AT MID UPPER NINETIES.YEAH NO, IT'S A BIG, BIG SOCIAL MEDIA POINT, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE YOU WALK YOUR DOGS AT NIGHT OR EARLY IN THE MORNING AND STAY IN THE GRASS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN, BUT THAT WAS ONE OF THE RESOURCES. WE'RE GOING TO USE A COMEBACK THAT. AND SO THE FINAL DISCOVER DOWNTOWN EVENT. THE MOONLIGHT MOVIE, SO WE HAD ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED THIS IN APRIL WINS WERE OVER 20 MPH. SO WE HAD TO RESCHEDULE. UM WE HAD ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST , STAFF GOT TOGETHER AND DECIDED PROBABLY A BETTER BE BEST THAT WE PUSHED THIS THING DOWN TO SEPTEMBER LITTLE BIT JUST BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH IT'S GOING TO BE AT NIGHT, IT'S STILL GOING TO BE VERY HOT. ESPECIALLY THIS SUMMER. WE'RE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW. SO WE MOVED IT TO SEPTEMBER. THE 24TH. WE'RE GOING. IT'S BASICALLY THE SAME SET UP AS THE ORIGINAL APRIL EVENT. HOW THEY INFLATABLE SCREEN SET UP. WE'LL HAVE A COUPLE OF VENDORS OUT THERE. UM, HAVE SOME POPCORN AND MOVIE SHOWING THE MOVIE AND CONTENT. OH, SO WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS ONE AND THIS WILL BE THE CONCLUSION OF. DISCOVERED DOWNTOWN SERIES AND THEN ONCE WE'VE FINISHED WITH THESE EVENTS ALL RIGHT INTO PLANNING OUT 2023 STAFF IS WITH THE WAY THAT SOME OF THESE EVENTS HAVE GOTTEN THIS PAST YEAR STAFF IS LOOKING AT MARCH. MAY MAYBE JUNE LEAVE JULY AND AUGUST ALONE. CLEARLY AND THEN HOP INTO SEPTEMBER, UM SO THAT'S GOING TO BE THE THAT'S GONNA BE THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE WE'RE HEADING FOR THE 2023.

EVERYONE WANTS TO GET OUT AND DO SOMETHING, OR IS THIS REALLY THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE MOST LIKELY HEADING? AS FAR AS PARTICIPATION GOES AND REGISTRATION? SO TO BE ONE YEAR LATER, PRETTY MUCH. TO THE SAME NUMBER. I THINK THE NUMBER LAST YEAR WAS LIKE 9 51 OR 9 60 SOMEWHERE AROUND THERE, SO THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON.
