RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2008-072 , accepting cash donations of five hundred dollars ($500) in
support of the 2007 Fall Festival and to appropriate the received funds.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On Saturday, November 10, 2007, the Recreation Department hosted the Fall Festival
special event at Leo Carrillo Ranch. There was an estimated attendance of over 800
participants.
The event highlighted the Mexican-American culture with attendees teaming about the culture
through centuries-old Mexican corridor ballads, mariachis, and Folkloric dancers. Eight
vendors were invited to participate in the Bazaar and sold pottery, jewelry, and refreshments.
The event once again hosted a Jalapefto Eating Contest and a Fun Zone, which included
pinatas every hour as well as Mexican-American crafts, a giant slide, an obstacle course, and
a bounce house for the kids.
The main feature of the event included a chili cook-off with thirteen contestants competing for
first, second, and third place prizes. Contestants also competed to be the overall winner of
the People's Choice, Most Unique, and Hottest Chili. The Recreation Department partnered
with the Carlsbad High-Noon Rotary Club in presenting the chili cook-off. The Carlsbad High-
Noon Rotary Club provided the judges for the competition as well as prizes that were given
directly to the winners and donated $500 in cash to Recreation for general support of Special
Events.
On Monday, February 4,2008, the Park and Recreation Commission recommended that
these donations totaling $500 be accepted by the City Council.
A letter of appreciation has been sent on behalf of the Recreation Department and the City of
Carlsbad to the Carlsbad High-Noon Rotary Club.
