Come to Hunter Park for This Week's Neighborfest

 

Mayor Kathy Taylor and District 8 City Councilor Bill Christiansen invite Tulsans to join them at Hunter Park, 5804 E. 91st St., from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 8, for Neighborfest ‘08 – a series of nine events where citizens can meet their elected officials and form new friendships and renew old ones with their neighbors.

There is a Neighborfest event in each City Council District. The remaining schedule is listed below.

This year’s events will include free beverages and ice cream for everyone. There will be live entertainment, informational displays and an ongoing talent show, open to individuals and performing groups, that runs throughout the entire Neighborfest season.

The top acts from the talent show competition will be invited to perform again at the final event. Jazz bass guitarist and former U.S. Olympic basketball team member, University of Oklahoma and NBA star Wayman Tisdale and his wife Regina will host “Tulsa Talents.” Tisdale, also a touring recording artist and performer is releasing a new album this spring. Applications for the Tulsa Talents competition can be downloaded online.

At the final event on Aug. 5, a special drawing will be held for Mayor Taylor’s “Bring a Friend to Tulsa.” One lucky Tulsan will have a chance to win two round-trip airline tickets – courtesy of Southwest Airlines – for the purpose of bringing two out-of-town guests here to see what great things our city has to offer.
