The Van Wert Parks & Recreation Department is accepting applications for local non-profit organizations to provide concessions in Fountain Park during the Feel-Good Friday concert series.
This summer there will be 11 dates where concessions will be needed, starting May 28 and running through August 20. The June 4 and August 6 concerts will not be open for vendors.
In years’ past, non-profit groups have sold concessions (non-alcohol) during the concert series to earn revenue that would go to their non-profit groups. The determination of groups has yet to be decided and will depend greatly upon the number of organizations that register.
