According to an article that I have just read in indystar.com entitled, “Parks Day fundraiser to offer Cajun Dinner, Art Show, live Music”, Cicero Friends of the Parks will be holding a fundraising dinner on Parks Day to benefit our local parks in Hamilton County. This fundraiser will be held at Red Bridge Park from noon to 9 p.m. on Sunday June 28. The day will begin with an art show where Memory lane Artworks will be featuring the works of local artists. Starting at 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., there will be a Cajun Jambalaya dinner. This Cajun feast will be prepared and served by Hamilton County Parks Superintendent, Charlie Cambre and there will also be salads, side dishes and New Orleans style bread pudding. After dinner, Terry Lee and the Rock-a-Boogie Band will be performing great songs from the 50s and 60s at the gazebo from 6 to 9 p.m. This is an ideal event for the whole family so be sure to bring the kids and your appetite for good wholesome fun.
At a time when economic problems are causing many folks to cut back on their entertainment expenses, this is an entertaining and inexpensive way to spend the day with family or friends enjoying art, great food and good music. The cost of tickets to this year’s Parks Day fundraiser dinner is $10 for adults and $6 for children 3 and over.
Cicero Friends of the Parks is a local non-profit organization started in 1995 that helps maintain out local parks and serve the recreational needs of northern Hamilton County residents.
