MEMORANDUM
TO: Kenai Beautification Committee
FROM: Robert J. Frates, Parks & Recreation Director
DATE: September 7, 2021
SUBJECT: Fall Festival - 2021
Purpose of this correspondence is to request a discussion regarding the upcoming fall festival.
Matters to be discussed include, but not limited to, date and time, location and ideas for
activities.
Last year’s event was held at the Visitors Center and we incorporated the Old Towne Market.
The event was scaled back somewhat from previous years and included mostly static displays
for people to enjoy. We can aim for something similar this season or plan to incorporate some
interactive activities. If the desire is to add some activities, and it’s safe to do so, I’d recommend
we locate the event at Millennium Square
Does the Committee have a recommendation with respect to date, time and location?
