averaging 2 events per week. 3 events were cancelled due to unfavorable weather conditions. Over
9,700 people attended the events. The Rotary Pavilion also hosted 52 park rentals.
We extend a sincere thank you to our event sponsors, partners, attendees, City Council and Parks and
Recreation Commissioners who support these programs. The Parks and Recreation Department looks

$5,800 budget adjustment to support the inflated vendor costs. An additional $13,500 in sponsorships
and donations were acquired this year.
