FLCC> Valet Bike Parking at Ithaca Festival

[Jennifer Dotson]

Valet Bike Parking will happen for a third year at Ithaca Festival on 
Sunday June 3 at Stewart Park!

We need volunteers to have fun with us for easy shifts of 1-3 hours on 
Sunday. In past years, there has been much cameraderie, a shared sense 
of satisfaction from seeing human power used to get to a fun event, a 
good opportunity for people from different parts of the community to 
meet, and a chance to admire amazing & innovative bikes & show off your 
own, not to mention great security for dozens to hundreds of 
festival-goers' bikes. There is also an opportunity for more involvement 
by youth or other groups at future events. Read on for ways you (or your 
group) can be a part of providing this service.

We need volunteers to help with parking bikes during the festival. We 
also particularly need help with setup and clean up Sunday morning and 
Sunday evening. Energetic, responsible young people are definitely 
welcome and needed. A third need is to assess existing signage and make 
any additional signs (or other materials) before the weekend of the 
festival. We could also use a 10x10 canopy, a table, and a few chairs 
for the day.

Please let me know if you can contribute an hour or two. In 2005 and 
2006 bike parking was a lot of fun & a good opportunity for people from 
different parts of the community to meet. 2005's perfect sunny weather 
saw over 200 bikes, including several very cool & interesting ones (a 
triple, several tandems and trailers and a variety of recumbents).

There will also be space on the Valet Bike Parking table/tent for 
limited materials from bike or transportation-related groups. Please let 
me know if you have something to contribute to that (time, literature, 
etc.).

Thanks!
