Meridian Park Neighborhood Association is pleased to announce its 4th annual free “end of summer” SummerSet Arts Festival at Ronald Bog on September 12, 2015, 12pm-5pm.

Volunteers are needed to organize this year’s festival. Experience is not necessary and training is gladly provided! New ideas are welcome, and time commitments can vary according to participants availability and interests.

The mission of SummerSet Arts Festival at Ronald Bog is to connect people to nature and to foster community spirit through the arts. This year Meridian Park is committed to building a strong and broad base of organizers who can work to create an event that brings our neighborhood together. The planning and production of an event of this scope provides an opportunity for many neighbors to have fun getting to know each other, which in turn strengthens our community.

Team positions to be filled include: event logistics coordination, online promotion, poster distribution, food vendor procurement, volunteer food procurement, parking and traffic coordination, festival directing, volunteer coordinating, art booths, info booths, hands-on activities coordination, and artist recruitment and coordination.

A planning meeting is scheduled for June 9, 6:30pm-8:30pm in Room 301 at Shoreline City Hall. To RSVP or to find out more, contact Cynthia Knox 206-218-3302. 

SummerSet Arts Festival is presented by Meridian Park Neighborhood Association and sponsored by SLFP Arts Council, Shoreline Historical Museum, and Shoreline Breakfast Rotary Foundation.
