Mayor's First Day Festival 2005
The Mayor's First Day Festival is Sunday, August 14, 2005, 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., at the Gaylord Entertainment Center. Mark your calendar, and plan to attend a fun-filled celebration of our schools, our children and our parents.
This year's Festival will again feature family fun, educational entertainment, and free school supplies and snacks. The Festival will also cover more space, with the entire Gaylord Entertainment Center concourse opened to create easier and more open access to all your favorite booths. There will also be outdoor activities as well as live music in the park adjacent to the GEC.
