PARK PLANNING / ICE CREAM SOCIAL - June 7, 2008
The Partnership for Floyd is hosting a planning event/ice cream social for the Warren G. Lineberry Memorial Park on Saturday, June 7th, 12:00-4:00 PM at the Sun Music Hall. All community members are invited. The Floyd County Woman’s Club will be assisting with serving free ice cream to all attendees. This is a family friendly event. Everyone’s ideas are important.
The first planning event/ice cream social for the park area was held last year and great ideas for what the community wanted to see in the park area were created. The list included things like an amphitheater for music and theater events. This year the planning event will include architects from Hill Studios and Streamline Timberworks who will draw conceptual sketches of the area as community members are expressing their likes and dislikes for ideas proposed.
The Floyd Town Council has done the work to make the space available for the park; however, they would appreciate the community’s in put into making decision for the use of the park and to assist in raising the necessary funds for developing the area. The Partnership for Floyd will be spearheading the fundraising efforts. The Partnership will be holding a drawing for a handmade quilt by Thelma Via, a Hotel Floyd gift certificate, and a handcrafted tea pot by Jayne Avery. Tickets are $2.00 each or three for $5.00 and are available at the Town of Floyd office, Something to Do, Hotel Floyd, Art Under the Sun, and Bell Gallery. Tax deductible donations will also be accepted for this important community purpose. The drawing for the raffle will be held at 4:00 at the ice cream social & park planning event. The Partnership for Floyd received a $500 grant from the Community Foundation of the New River Valley to assist with the costs of this event.
