Dear Mr. Stephany,
I would like to make a formal request, on the behalf of the Downtown Oshkosh Business
Improvement District (BID) Marketing Consortium, for the use of Opera House Square
for the Tree Lighting Event. The event, as proposed, will run Friday, November 14,
2008. The event will be held between the hours of 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM. However, the
park is requested from approximately 10:00 AM till 7:30 PM for set -up and tear down
functions. We will be renting a tent from Oshkosh Tent and Awning this year which will
be set up in the park. I will call diggers hotline and have them mark off the irrigation
system and any wires that would be in danger.
This event has become a wonderful tradition and we expect it to grow again this year.
Please refer any questions or concerns that you have to me at (920) 303 -2265 ext. 11 or
maureen@downtownoshkosh.com. I look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Maureen Strauss

Downtown BID Manager
