RE: Special Event Application for the Asian Memorial Festival
The City received two applications for similar events to be located at Winnebago
County Park on May 26th and 27th. One application was filed by Mr. Kor Xiong
for the Asian Memorial Festival and a subsequent application was filed by the
Hmong Service Center, Inc. for the Hmong Memorial Day Weekend Festival.
City staff contacted Winnebago County to determine whether both applications
were in fact for the same event, whether both events were occurring or whether
there was a conflict between the two events. Winnebago County provided
information stating that Winnebago County Park had been leased by the Hmong
Service Center, Inc and that the event proposed by Mr. Xiong would not be able
to be held at the Park on those dates.
Staff has contacted Mr. Xiong to inform him of the information received and to
offer to work with him if he has different dates or a different location that he would
like to consider for his event.
Based upon the information received, staff is recommending denial of the
application for the Asian Memorial Festival at this time due to the unavailability of
the proposed venue.
