The Lodi Downtown Business Association is hosting on July 14, 15 and 16
"Downtown Days". The 14th and 15th are primarily sidewalk sale days for the
downtown merchants.
The 16th which is Saturday, is a fun filled day for the family. Local car
dealers w i 11 display the new 1988 models on blocked off streets. A variety
of foods will be offered along with ice cream, snow cones and watermelon
etc..at various locations of the downtown. In addition, The Tokay Players
will be on hand to entertain the childred. Balloons will be given away to
all children. Face painting will be available along with other activities.
The event I trust will create excitement and enthusiasm for the heart of
Lodi. A musical band w i 1 1 entertain on Saturday along with a live remote
from a radio station. I would anticipate an exciting number of Lodians
to visit and enjoy the downtown along with the various activities we will
afford them.
I would anticipate that most families would spend more than two hours in the
downtown on the 16th of July. The enjoyment they are experiencing could be
dramatically effected should they receive a ticket for a parking violation
of the two hour time zones.
The Lodi Downtown Business Association would appreciate the City Council
waiving/suspending any vi6lati--C of the' two hour naYkine restriction -n or
this date only. I feel this would enhance the overall promotion of the downtown
along with not having cars rotating every two hours. Imagine the positive
reception the citizens of Lodi will have knowing the City Council has made
such a gesture.
