The Wine Country Carriage proposes to work a horse
drawn wagon -carriage concession at Lodi Lake and in turn
bring in revenue for the Lodi City Parks and Recreation
Department for the use of the park grounds.
As far as projecting how many people or trips around
the lake, I cannot realistically estimate at this time,
however I truly believe it will enhance the park's atmosphere
and provide an attraction as well.
(fere are several ideas in charging the Country Carriage:
1. Ten percent of the daily income.
2. A flat daily rate for the use of the
grounds.
3. A fee for every trip around the lake.
As far as liability insurance we will. have -one
million dollars coverage twelve months of the year per
vehicle with either the Carriage Association or through a
company out of Denver, Colorado.
Lodi City Parks and Recreation Director Ron Williamson
thinks this would be an excellent opportunity for Lodi
Lake and is contacting the State Recreation and Parks
Director on what type of contract could be applied.
Rides around Lodi Lake would mainly consist of three
months of the year from late May to sometime in September
but weather permitting, many more days.
My drivers are responsible and cautious professionals.
They have done over one hundred events such as weddings, parties,
parades, and country rides. These events were performed safely
and competently of which I am proud to say. I have learned from
folks who have been in the business for sixty years or more.
"Chey have been ever so willing to teach us the proper and safe
ways of driving.
For the last one -and -a -half years my business has been
very satisfying to me and is growing steadily. This venture at
Lodi Lake would improve my business as well.
I appreciate the time you have given me to explain my
proposition. Thank -You very much.
Sincere
Dave Sm
