February 25, 2ggq Dear Downtown Plainfield Businesses; We are in the planning process far Strawberry Fest 2gg0 which wilt be held on MaY 20 and 21. Strawberry Fest will be the major fundraiser far MainStreet Plainfield this year, and our plan is to make the event mare attractive to the participants and to the visitors by providing more booths, vendors and entertainment. This year, the Joliet Medical Group will be holding a 5iC run on the morning pf May 21 that will draw between 25q~-3qq runners with accompanying family and friends. These runners will be invited to the Fest for free strawberry shortcake after the run. The Plainfield Sun will also be hosting a concert by the Army ,Jazz Band at Plainfield High Schaal which has the potential to draw up to another 70D people an Sunday afternoon. With these additional events and many other Strawberry Fest activities, we are planning an higher attendance and traffic than in previous years, We feel that with the potential of more people attending the festival because of the run, the concert and larger demographics, that we need to request the closing of the 4qD, 5q0 and 60q blocks of Lockport Street for Strawberry Fest 2~q0. We are asking far your support in fihis matter. We will be making this request far the closure of Lockport Street far Strawberry 1=est 2g00 at the Village Bvard Meeting on March ~.

February 15, 2000 Mr. Richard Rock, Vllage President Vllage of Plainfield 530 W. Lockport Street Plainfield, IL 60544 Dear Mr. Rock: ~~ a/al Fix ~ ~~. dom.. P . Per your direction at our meeting on February 15, I have created this formal request for the closure of the 4DD, 500 and 600 blocks of Lockport Street for our annual Strawberry Fest Celebration on May 20 and May 21. Our activities for Strawberry Fest 2000 are similar in nature to its predecessors; however, there are a few differences. One is that the Joliet Medical Group has planned a 5K Run on May 21. The runners {estimated at 260-300 persons with accompanying family and friends) will be invited to the t=est for free strawberry shortcake. This will increase the pedestrian and the car traffic sign~rantly. In addition, on May 21, the Plainfield Sun will sponsor a concert by the Army Jazz Band at Plainfield High Schaal. We anticipate additional "traffics° at that time too! Finally, our estimate is that we will be able to double our crafters from the 1999 total. The combination of Fests, Cruise Nights, and other promotions have brought very positive attention to MainStreet Plainfield, Inc. We anticipate thousands. of visitors. We need to use the 6DD block to accommodate the increased number of participants from the run, from the concert, and from the larger demographics. There is one very important difference between Strawberry Fest 2000 and the earner ones in that it is the major fundraiser for MainStreet Plainfield, Inc. To continue our current programs and to create new programs, we need a maximum profit. from this very important event. We would also like to continue the tradition of closing Lockport Street for Harvest Fest. We will notify the business people. on Lockport Street to the fact that this request will be discussed at the Vllage Board Meeting on February 28. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, amen A.
