opened the day before the 4th we have to have the amusement rides stage at
the old Fire Station parking lot the day before and set up booth vendors after
5pm at City Hall. This year the layout for booths was for the fire station and since
the amusement rides come in the day before we have no choice but to set
them up at the fire station. To keep booth vendors happy we offered free
booth registration for Santa in the Park, they appreciated it and were very few
complaints due to the cancellation.
