Fine Arts Festival .
BACKGROUND
The 1999 Fine Arts Festival is scheduled for August 20, 21,
and 22 . The event will begin with a free evening concert by

p.m. On Saturday, August 21 and Sunday, August 22, all
festival activities will take place at Civic Center Plaza.
As in the past, the City Council is being asked to approve
