Background Information:
The seventh year of programming at the Rotary Pavilion in Levee Park took place from June 7, 2022 –
September 25, 2022. The Hastings Parks and Recreation Department coordinated 31 programs for the
facility; averaging 2 events per week. 4 events were cancelled due to unfavorable weather conditions.
Over 8,300 people attended the events. The Rotary Pavilion also hosted 43 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
forward to coordinating events in 2023.

in sponsorships and donations were acquired this year compared to $29,034 in 2021, $20,200 in 2020,
$4,175 in 2019, $3,950 in 2018, $3,450 in 2017 and $2,000 in 2016. Staff applied for various grants in
2020 and 2021 but were not selected in 2022 as a recipient of these grants such as the Metro Regional
Arts Council Flexible Support Grant or the State Arts Board Grant. The seventh year of programming fit
within the allocated funds.
