With <br />this additional space we can potentially increase event attendance, <br />provide more food & beverage vendors, expand seating, and overall <br />create a much more appealing setting for our event. <br />While the long-term vision of this much needed downtown park site <br />remains our focus as we work to develop the future for lazz in the Valley, <br />the benefit of this project will reap immediate rewards. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tony Swartz <br />President / Director <br />Jazzin the Valley <br />/sl
