Thank you for the update.
Wow–I just read the fine print and I'm not sure I like it! Honestly, having to stand in line to purchase water, soft drinks & beer & wine vs. being able to bring your own makes this summer ritual much less family friendly.
"The city asks attendees to please refrain from bringing beverages to the concerts in order to show support for the REC Foundation."
It's a way for them to raise money. I think it's a good idea. Our city parks could use some work. It does not say that you absolutely can not bring beverages (or food for that matter) just that they are asking people to refrain from doing so, to support the REC Foundation.
Refrain from bringing beverages? is food next? Bringing your own food and drink is part of the fun. You already changed it from Friday to Saturday. Too many changes.
The city called us to say that was a mistake. Food and beverage will be available, but outside food and drink is OK. The story has been updated.

What up with the fundraising groups wearing the funny looking hats?? I do are an ante every week to bring my juice.
I Donate an ante
The REC Foundation pays all the expenses for these concerts (i.e. musician fees, security, sound system, etc.) to provide this free entertainment to the community. Proceeds from beverage sales all go to enhance parks and continue these free programs. I don't think it's a lot to ask to occasionally purchase a glass of wine (which is donated by J Lohr vineyards) to support the efforts of this hard-working group of volunteers.
The individuals wearing the funny hats are board members of the REC Foundation who volunteer their time to collect donations to pay for park improvements. The "pass the hat" donations this year all go to support opening Centennial Pool for summer 2016. Last year donations supported the renovation of the Downtown City Park playground to be completed sometime next year. The REC Foundation also pays for all expenses for the concerts. Your "ante" helps this group to continue their good work.
Incendio…again.
It was changed from Friday to Thursday, not Saturday. You're able to bring almost anything,beverage or food, no one has ever mentioned refraining. It has been mentioned about possibly changing the time, starting perhaps later 6 30,as with Templeton,others,etc.
Not sure why, but the picture in the email is of JD Project. When you open it the picture is correct with Truth About Seafood. Just a heads up.
I think, from previous years, they "encourage",suggest,etc. However, I don't think it's a "rule", I believe you can bring your own.Will have to check the most recent update.
I guess you could bring your own beverages and make a nice size donation. That way you wouldn't need to stand in line but you're still supporting the REC foundation.
