Dan,

Chamber is on board. Lets lock down a date.

I think a Saturday, early afternoon, so we can highlight the improved

walkability and access to downtown businesses in coordination with the

chamber makes the most sense, but I am open to other suggestions.

I can do a little speech and invite Deb to cut the ribbon to officially

"open" the street. Maybe the chamber could coordinate some vendors for the

park and some sort of small prize for visiting all the businesses on the

downtown walk...
