Last year, <br />some 2,000 people attended. <br /> <br />Originating from a federal Weed & Seed grant, the celebration <br />continues to offer a slice of traditional community spirit and good ‘ole <br />family fun. Petersen Barn Community Center has taken the lead in <br />organizing the event with the original Weed & Seed partners—the <br />Bethel School District and EPD’s Bethel Public Safety Station. <br /> <br />The Cultural Services Division has supported the WAB the last three <br />years by placing it as the kick-off event to the Summer Concerts in <br />the Park series. This year’s main music attraction will be “Son <br />Me’lao.” Event Coordinator Lizz Zitron is bringing in Salsa <br />Northwest to provide free Salsa dance lessons just prior to the <br />concert. <br /> <br />A big fun factor at the WAB is the Club Bethel Carnival, which benefits Bethel youth. The Leadership <br />Youth Group has created a wide variety of carnival games and inflatable fun, which should keep many <br />little feet busy for the entire day. Here is more of what you can expect: <br /> <br />? <br /> Music and dance groups from Bethel schools, including the return of “Trapped in a Mini Van” <br />? <br /> A Bicycle Safety Rodeo with prizes throughout the day <br />? <br /> Tree-climbing in Wally the Walnut Tree <br />? <br /> The Library Summer Reading Program <br />? <br /> A dunk tank featuring Bethel School District teachers and RecZone staff. (It could be a hot day, <br />so you might want to volunteer.) <br />? <br /> A variety of food booths that will keep everyone salivating—BBQ, Mexican, Chinese, cotton <br />candy, Italian sodas, and snow cones served up by Mayor Kitty Piercy (from 12-12:30 p.m.) <br /> <br />In addition, this year’s “Milk Toast” will honor Ardis Barker’s 19 years of service at the Petersen Barn pre- <br />school, and Bethel School District Superintendent Colt Gill will present student awards. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />May 31, 2007 <br />
