Over the last seven years that I have administered the program it has proven to be a great success with every week bringing in an average crowd of 150 to 200 people per show. Each year I receive positive feedback about the location, the weekly band choices and Langford's support of such a family-friendly event. The children's playground and water park were a big hit again last year and increased the attendance of young families who not only appreciate a great place to bring their little ones, but they can spend a fun afternoon listening to music, have a picnic and meet up with their friends. I would apply the same event format I have used in previous years with the program running every Sunday from 2:00 to 4:00pm, beginning July 9th and ending on August 27th, 2017. I have arranged for 98.5 The Ocean to provide additional advertising support, and the Goldstream Gazette is also on board again to write an article highlighting our opening band. The Langford Legion did well with their concession again last year and I would like to provide them with this fundraising opportunity again this summer. My charge for running the 2017 summer program would remain the same as previous years at a rate of $10,000. Thank you for your consideration.
