Make plans to join your friends and neighbors at the Violet Crown Thing
in the Park, to be held in Brentwood Park on Saturday, May 2, from 11
a.m. to 6 p.m.
In
the spirit of previous Violet Crown Festivals, this event is being
organized by Violet Crown Community Works. Since 2003, VCCW has helped
build and sustain community in Brentwood and Crestview by supporting
neighborhood events and enhancement projects.
Admission to the Thing in the Park is free, and there will be fun
activities for all ages, including art and craft vendors, live music and
other entertainment from neighborhood groups, kids' activities, and good
old-fashioned games like sack races and pitching washers! We'll also
have living history displays and activities and sales of a neighborhood
history film and booklet.
Bring your blanket and a picnic or enjoy great food and tasty treats
from Hangtown Grill, Amy's Ice Creams, Hey Cupcake!, and others. Major
sponsors include Grande Communications, The Pilates Center of Austin,
Texas DPS Credit Union, Sweet Leaf Tea, Thunderbird Coffee, The Art Pad,
Stepping Stone School, and Barnstormers Studio.
Proceeds from the Thing in the Park will be dedicated to seating and
other enhancements for the Wall of Welcome area. Additional proceeds
will benefit Voices of the Violet Crown, an ongoing oral history project
in the neighborhood.
