News Big Crowd Attends 4th District Snow Day @ Whaley Park
(Jan. 21, 2006) -- A large crowd, estimated by an organizer at 2,000+ people and pushing 3,000 over the space of three hours, flocked to the 4th Council District's "Snow Day" @ Whaley Park on Jan. 21, organized by Councilman Patrick O'Donnell.
Councilman O'Donnell's office says the free event (which included ten tons of snow plus arts and crafts, a kids' bouncer and DJ) took place without straining LB General Fund taxpayer funds thanks to the help of a number of generous sponsors: | Photo credit: Melissa Infusino |
