The Eugene <br />08 Festival opens at 11:00 a.m., Friday, June 27. Mayor Piercy and the entire City Council will open the <br />festival at noon on the Track Town Plaza Stage with a public drawing for eight pairs of Olympic Trials <br />tickets, one for each day of competition.

The Eugene 08 Festival is free and <br />open to all community members. <br /> <br />Parking Ambassadors to Assist Event Goers <br />The City of Eugene's parking team has changed its uniform for the Olympic Trials to promote our <br />community event and assist our event guests. The parking officers will serve as ambassadors in <br />answering questions, giving directions, and encouraging alternative modes of transportation. They will <br />also play a critical <br />role in <br />maintaining safe <br />roadways and <br />neighborhood <br />accessibility by <br />ensuring that fire <br />hydrants, <br />intersections, and <br />driveways are not <br />blocked. The City <br />of Eugene's <br />Parking Program <br />has worked <br />closely with <br />Eugene'08 to successfully use shuttles, bicycling, and walking for the events. Please check out your <br />transportation options to the 2008 Olympic Trials. For more information please contact Jeff Petry at <br />682-5729. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />June 26, 2008 <br />
