Sunday Fundays in Downtown Modesto?



Park issues are at a minimum (no more Monique and her beau).  Thanks Chief if your staff had something to do with that.  So because of that, just wanted to report on our efforts of the Beach Party Kickball for Partners In Paint.  This event will be at Enslen Park on August 19th.  Councilman Lopez has made great efforts in securing some title sponsors! The councilman and myself both agreed to keep it small and simple for a first time.  I can really only accept 10  kickball teams, and I am nearly there.  It will be a great day full of fun and hilarity. Posters will be ready early next week that will go in area businesses. 

I am in the beginning stages of creating for downtown what I want to term "Sunday Fundays", a series of fun events to be staged downtown like fun runs, scavenger hunts, and pub crawls.  
My hopes is to be able to provide some commerace downtown on Sundays.  My initial "meet and greet" was with Nancy at the Downtown Improvement District just to chat about the possibilites.  She loved the idea and is on board to help.  There is a lot more to it, but I do need the city behind this idea.  This is my first posting expressing my desires, This blog goes to the connected government folks of the city and a few other dignitaries.  Is that the right term?  Any feedback is encouraged!
