Another Summer winds down

We had a great crowd on Saturday night as the Diebold Brothers treated a very large crowd to a great night of music. Thanks to all that have given time and effort to make the concert series a huge success.

If you have been paying attention to the media, you know that the financial strength of the city is not so hot and the next budget proposed by the mayor calls for major cuts at Indy Parks. According to Indy Star, the Mayor is even looking at possibly selling many of Indy's mini parks.

What does all of this mean for Irving Circle? It's hard to say right now. But Friends of Irving Circle is staying on top of it, please be assured of that. In the meantime, we are going to start our fundraising campaign for next season early. If you haven't noticed, the fountain is down again. We are not sure if it will be running again this season or not, but given the recent frequency of break-downs, we are looking to raise money to rebuild the fountain equipment and pump housing. More information on that as it comes up.

But for now, tons of thanks to everyone for their help. Continue using the park. Keep it clean. Help us maintain. Clean up after your dog. And please don't climb the fountain as you could damage it.
