RE:	Kansas State Fiddling and Picking Championship

The Kansas State Fiddling and Picking Championship has requested a Temporary Use of Public Right-of-Way Permit for the closure of Massachusetts Street between North Park Street and South Park Street on Sunday, August 25, 2013, from 8:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. Food vendor tents would be located on the street.  

The event organizers have also requested permission to sell alcoholic beverages in the park. Because the location is within 400’ of a church a public hearing must be held before the sale of alcohol can be approved. That hearing has been scheduled for August 6, 2013.

ACTION:      Approve a Temporary Use of Public Right-of-Way Permit for the Kansas State Fiddling and Picking Championship for the closure of Massachusetts Street between North Park Street and South Park Street on Sunday, August 25, 2013, from 8:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
