A schedule of the events will be posted early in July.  Some of the planned activities include:

Yoga class             
Classical country music singing             
Improv performances             
Renaissance Fair sword fighting

Music from local bands
 

 
Some of these activities will overlap each other giving those in attendance the opportunity to watch or participate in multiple events during the afternoon and  evening.
 
Parking will be available on Crown Street and around the monument.
 
All of the entertainment is being provided by volunteers and while there will be no charge to those attending, a free will donation to the Monuments’ Restoration fund will be highly encouraged.
