Oshkosh Parks Department,
The Full Throttle Walleye Series is interested in reserving the Rainbow Park boat
launch area for a fishing tournament on Sunday, June 29th. Anglers would launch from
Rainbow Park and then return later in the day for the weigh in We would like to use the
area adjacent to the launch site (where other tournaments are held) to host the weigh in
festivities. We would also like to use electrical hook ups from the park shelter to power
our tournament equipment throughout the day. Full Throttle Outdoors is a non
denominational, faith based team Walleye fishing Series based out of Neenah. We have a
stage, several tents (10x10) and one or two boats we'll be displaying at the event. Anglers
will leave from the park in the morning at approximately 5:30 -6:00 am and then return in
the afternoon around 3:00pm. All of the weigh in equipment, stage and boats would be
set up the day of the event and taken down the same day. We will not be serving any
alcohol at our event. If you have any questions please contact Chris Jones at

Dear Mr. Fitzpatrick:
I am writing to request the use of the Opera House Square on June 29 from 10:00 am to
3:00 pm for a Water City Church community cookout. Water City is a new church,
affiliated with the Assemblies of God, which gathers in the third floor studio at 210
Commerce St.
We were hoping to use this small event to say hello to the community and to provide a
free lunch for some folks who might enjoy it. We were planning on grilling hot dogs and
brats, and having some games for children.
If you have any questions, or if I can provide any further information please feel free to
contact me. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Jason Fiedler
Lead Pastor
Water City Church
