A. 2011 Moorpark Arts Festival Recap. (Oral Report)
This item was opened with a video presentation. Duenas provided a recap
of events. Schwabauer was impressed with the variety of vendors, but
said there are many other groups in Ventura County looking for venues
that we need to make contact with. Hamous mentioned that the Arts
Festival being held on Sunday makes it difficult for people who go to
church. She also inquired about attendance. Duenas said if she had to
guess, she thinks attendance may have been slightly lower this year than
last. Schwabauer asked about what publications the Festival was
advertised in, and was told that press releases and announcements at
other City's Council meetings were just a few ways that it was advertised.

The annual 3rd of July event will be held on Sunday this year. An
application will be submitted for an Arts Commission booth. Riley asked
for ideas for the booth. Hamous suggested videography, a bigger screen,
and giveaways such as magnets or stickers. Booth should be a fun
outreach to the community and a way to obtain volunteers. Chair Amador
would like to see the Arts Festival video played. Commissioners will
check schedules for availability and let Riley know.

Services Center.
Upon reviewing the Commissioners' tally sheet votes, and reviewing the
