request for the use of Riverside Park to include the area up to and around the Leach Amphitheater
for the Sunday, July 13, 2008 special Bo Dean's concert as part of the 2008 Waterfest Concert
Series. This request is due to the rescheduled Bo Dean's concert originally set for June 12, 2008.
Waterfest, Inc. requests to reserve and occupy "Riverside Park" defined as running from Main
Street on the west to the railroad tracks on the east with Ceape Street on the North and the Fox
River to the South. The area occupied to include all parking and all park facilities other than the
Convention Center. Additionally, we would anticipate that for safety & security purposes Court
.Street (south of Ceape Street) would be vacated during Waterfest events.

11.00`p.m."The admission gates will open that evening at 5:45 p.m. The park is requested on the
aforementioned date from approximately 10:00 a.m. the day of the show until 1:00 a.m. the next

approved request.
Waterfest,'Inc. has made arrangements with PMI for the Leach Amphitheater use for the above
mentioned date.
The Waterfest Concert Series - "Wisconsin's Best Community Concert Series" - has been a
wonderful tradition for our downtown and the entire community. We believe it has consistently
delivered on its Mission to "Celebrate the superb quality of life we enjoy, promote Oshkosh On
The Water all summer long throughout NE Wisconsin, raise awareness of what our community
has to offer, instill a healthy sense of community and act as a catalyst for riverfront & downtown
economic development."

Drag Race Show to showcase a huge sale of car stereos and a stereo sound competition.

retail store at 318 N Main Street. We would use the lot for this show only on Sunday,
July 20th starting at 10AM and have everyone cleared out by 5PM.
This event will be similar to our successful DB Drag Race events the last two years at
The Exclusive Company held on Sunday July 8th, 2007 and Sunday July 9th, 2006, for
which we used the same parking lot. We will once again have live DJs as well as food &
beverages ( alcohol
Thank you for consideration in The Exclusive Company's use of the parking lot for this
event, as well as your continued support of The Exclusive Company and the downtown
community.
