To City Council Members,
I am writing in regards to the Fratellos 5. This event is in its 2nd year and is put on by Run
Away Shoes and the Fratellos Restaurant. The race will be held on March 21 2009 at 9:OOam.
The course will be run starting at Arboretum Dr in Front of Fratellos restaurant. It will proceed
to Rivermill Rd. and on the Wiouwash Trail. From there we will connect to Marine Dr. and turn
left onto West Wind Road. The race will continue on West Wind until it intersects with Sunset
Point Lane, at which point it will turn back on itself and follow the same route back to
Arboretum Dr. and end in front of Fratellos. This year we also wanted to discuss the possibilities
of use one lane of Algoma Blvd. (from Hwy 41 to Arboretum Dr.), if weather becomes a safety
concern.
We look forward to receiving your approval on the course on March 21 from 8:00 a.m. until
10:30 a.m.
Thanks
Ross McDowell

Dear Mark:
On the behalf of the Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce and Waterfest, Inc., please accept this
request for the use of Riverside Park to include the area up to and around the Leach Amphitheater
for the 2009 Waterfest Concert Series.
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.
The Waterfest, Inc. plans to produce its regular season of 15 Thursday evening concert events
running each Thursday from May 21, 2009 through August 27, 2009. Most concerts will be held
between the hours of 6:00 and 11:00 p.m. However, we may open the admission gates at 5:00
p.m. to accommodate special "community night" promotions. As in the past, the park is requested
on the aforementioned dates from approximately 10:00 a.m. the day of the show until 1:00 a.m.
the next morning for set -up and teardown functions that occur. Our request is consistent with our
previous year's request.
Waterfest, Inc. has made arrangements with City of Oshkosh Parks Director Tom Stephany for
2009 Leach Amphitheater use for the above mentioned dates. We look forward to a good working
relationship with Tom and his team.
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."
