We Need Your Help!
Gimme Shelter from the rains…..

Festival in the Park welcomes each fall with rows of tents along Freedom Park, showcasing art, entertainment and more. Those signature tents offer shelter from the weather, protect art, stage dressing areas, cover face painting and so much more. But three days of massive rains in 2011 took out 14 of the Festivals tents, leaving need for shelter from the sun and rain for the future. We STILL need 7 more tents for 2013!

As a small non-profit relying on charitable donations and grants, losing the tents is a potential big hit for our budget. Could you help us? Each 10 x 10 white tent costs $308, so we hope to raise $2,156 to cover the 7 more tents we need.

Please consider a donation to the Festival in the Park, and then come out to the Festival September 20th through the 22nd and see the much-needed shelter that you provided!
