Dear Council Members:
We are planning on having a grand opening for our business on Saturday,
May 8, 2004, from 11:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.
We are requesting the use of the parking lot behind our business on State

primarily used for businesses in the area. We are the only business open on
Saturday in the area. We would like to utilize the entire parking lot, but will
be satisfied with only partial parking if you deem that appropriate.
We plan on having a pig roast and we might possibly have some live music.
We will follow all city ordinances that apply and would sincerely appreciate
the use of this parking lot for our grand opening.

Dear Mr. Wollangk:
On behalf of the Greater Downtown Oshkosh Association, I would like to request the closing of
North Main Street from Algoma Boulevard to Church Avenue for the 2004 Annual Downtown
Sidewalk Sale. This event is scheduled to take place Wednesday, July 7, 2004. The hours of
operation will be from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm and we anticipate our set-up and takedown time to be
approximately one hour.
This is the fifth year of the Sidewalk Sales in the present format as a GDOA Major Event. We feel
that having a majority of the retailers locate their table in one central area is beneficial to the
businesses and their patrons. We hope to make this an event that will include music, food, and
children's entertainment, enthusiastically bringing the community to the roots of downtown
Oshkosh.
Please feel free to call me about any questions or concerns at 920.303.2265 ext 31. Thank you for
your time and consideration on this matter.
