6. 1. Park and Recreation Commission Meeting Date: 08/08/2024 Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Connect the community through Parks, Trails and Recreational Programming Information Title: Recreation Program Update Purpose/Background: We had a jam-packed July and still aren't done! Last month we revamped our Two Rivers Art Fair (formerly known as the Elmcrest Art Fair) and had both a record number of vendors and attendees. Big thank to our partners who made the event possible. You can view some highlights posted to our Facebook here. Additionally, we hosted another Movie in the Park, a 55+ Day Trip to New Ulm, Alpine Park Playground Ribbon Cutting, all alongside our weekly programs such as Yoga, Art in the Park, and the Concert Series. Don't worry if you haven't made it out vet- we still have more time for summer fun this month!
