Special Event Permit Application <br />Additional Information: <br />Description of Event: Sherburne County Area United Way is wanting to hold a <br />street dance to take place down in the parking lot behind The Depot. There <br />would be a trailer/stage with a live band, and beer and food would be sold by <br />Fred of McCoy's who has agreed to partner with us. T-shirts for the event will be <br />sold by United Way helpers. This event is called UNITED WE DANCE and we are <br />partnering with other venues in our service area (Princeton, Zimmerman, Big <br />Lake, Elk River) to have a "Battle of the Bands" to raise awareness of United Way <br />as well as donations. The venue/band/DJ that raises the most funds by 11:00 pm <br />that evening will get their venue and band promoted on a billboard (coming into <br />Elk River). This street dance in Elk River will be our "hub" where announcements <br />will be made throughout the evening as to how the other venues are doing. This <br />street venue will not be part of the competition to raise funds as it is something <br />that we are setting up. <br />Proposed Location: After research qo v~here power is available to the public, we <br />have decided to propose using the"par~ang lot behind The Depot so that the live <br />band can use the power that other bands use for Rivers Edge concerts. The stage <br />would be (hopefully) a semi platform with soft sides and a firm roof. The stage <br />would face west towards the new church (old First National Bldg). We <br />understand the half of the parking lot belongs to the church so we would ask <br />permission to use their lot that night as well. <br />Insurance: We will name the City, etc., as additional insured and are covered by <br />$1,000,000. We will also look into the liquor liability with Fred of McCoy's selling <br />liquor. <br />Public Health Plans: It is our intention to contract with a local garbage collector to <br />pick up garbage after the event on July 29. Extra bins will be provided by them as <br />well if need be. Porta potties will be obtained from a local sanitation company <br />and will be picked up the next day as well. <br />
