Hi, there. Not sure who to send this to, so I'm hoping you can forward it on.
First, I recently came across this idea of closing streets (temporarily) to allow kids to play. I think it would be amazing to see something like this in Bloomington. http://www.reading.gov.uk/residents/community-and-living/play-streets/
Secondly, I took my three year old to Touch a Truck this year. What a wonderful event! We had a blast. He has been every year of his life, but this was the first time I was able to go with him. I wanted to give my feedback about the amount of candy at the event. It seems like it was everywhere and several other moms I talked to were really upset about it (especially since a lot of it was hard candy or really chewy stuff that can be a choking hazard for very young children). I think the trucks are the main event and the kids are so excited to see them. Adding candy to the mix just complicates things unnecessarily. Personally, I was really surprised to see the giant colors of fruit drinks (which I assume were donated by Pepsi). It was SO hot outside. I had forgotten our water bottles and really would have loved a drink of cold water. Our kids don't drink fruit drinks, so we just waited until we left and got water bottles elsewhere. But I would hope that Parks & Rec is all about encouraging healthy bodies, right? Maybe Pepsi could bring some water next year.
Thanks.

I cannot understand how the city council approved so much money for cross country ski trails in Hyland park. I believe it is over 3 million dollars. This is money that could be used for property tax relief. Hyland Park was just beautiful just the way it was.

I registered for a Wild Edibles class and was supposed to receive directions to Latimer Woods with my registration. I have not yet received them and the class is next week. Can you please have the organizer let me know where in Latimer Woods we will meet?

I don't have an issue to report. I am trying to locate any art classes that the rec centers may have but I must be overlooking any link this website has. I can only find sport or outdoor activities programs. Would you send me a link, please?

Who would I contact about working with the Movies in the Park program for 2016? I am an archivist at the Black Film Center/Archive at IU and our staff is interested in learning more about how we could become involved with the city to program a film featuring African American artists. Is there an official proposal form or guidelines?
Thanks!
