While Wildflower! Arts & Music Festival is scheduled for May 20-22, planning for the weekend event happens months in advance. Yesterday, City departments including Police, Fire, Emergency Management, Parks and Recreation, Health and Public Services gathered for the first of a series of meetings to discuss traffic, marketing and safety procedures.

Volunteers from the community are still needed to help with many facets of the festival; each volunteer receives an official Wildflower! Volunteer T-Shirt, a ticket to enter the festival to volunteer plus a second ticket for a friend as well as a parking pass. Visit www.wildflowerfestival.com/getinvolved to sign up.
