There were 46 free events around town. Library, Recreation and <br />Cultural Services, and Public Works have been <br />working together for the past three years to <br />market six series of events under one Summer in <br />the City umbrella. Some highlights included Disco <br />Dodgeball, which was a huge hit; and the popular <br />Get Your Chops Back event when 15 musicians <br />responded to the call to “dust off your instruments <br />and come make music with us.” The new Sunday <br /> <br />Jam: Dancin’ in the Park series was also very <br />successful, with almost 600 people attending the <br />three jams at Sladden Park. <br /> <br />Ninkaski Brewing developed Commonwealth Ale <br />th <br />to honor Eugene’s 150 birthday and it was <br />served at several events on Kesey Square. <br />Proceeds were shared with FOOD for Lane <br />County and Cultural Services to assist with costs <br />for the 150th birthday celebration activities. <br /> <br />In addition, a new Park for Lunch program debuted this summer. The Eugene Police Department, with assistance from <br />Recreation and Cultural Services, successfully changed the environment downtown during lunch time by bringing <br />events and activities to the Park Blocks on 35 days. <br /> <br />For more information on Summer in the City, contact Community Events Manager Billie Moser at 541-682-6347 or <br />billie.r.moser@ci.eugene.or.us <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 <br />September 27, 2012 <br />
