The Parkville Old Towne Market Community Improvement District (POTMCID) met for its regular meeting on Wednesday, July 15th, 2009 at the American Legion Hall. The main business conducted was the reappointment of Frank McCall to the board and the appointment of Kathleen Fasone to fill the vacancy created by the resignation in June of Kevin Heaton. In addition, the board reviewed a grant request from the Parkville Chamber or Commerce for support of their upcoming "Bluegrass Block Party."
The request was for a $5,000.00 "sponsorship" for the event. The POTMCID approved support of a grant of $4,190.00 to support very specific line items in the Chamber's budget including the event's marketing. The grant will be paid to the Chamber as reimbursement for actual expenses.

Bliss Fest - 2nd Annual
The Main Street Parkville Assocation, Parkville residents, The Kansas City Raw Food Meetup Group, Whole Foods Market, Green Acres, Nature's Pantry, and Evolving Magazine are helping to bring Parkville its second annual Bliss Fest.
If you haven't heard, The Bliss Fest is a celebration of conscious lifestyle featuring food, clothing, and beverage vendors, health and wellness speakers, live music, and demonstration of all sorts of personalized services surrounding the topics of sustainability, health, wealth, and creativity. Last year the event was at "The Treehouse", a piece of privately owned land near downtown Parkville. Bliss Fest 2008 was a huge success measured by attendance nearing 250 people, drawn strictly by word of mouth, and a few creative web posts.
Recently, the City of Parkville unanimously voted to approve the festival for English Landing Park. We'll have print advertising blanketing Parkville and spread throughout the Kansas City Metro Area. Live speakers this year are flying in from all over the US to publicly share their powerful stories of health, wealth, and gratitude. There will be reggae music and other entertainment as well. The reach of this festival has unexpectedly expanded and we're expecting a multitude of attendees traveling from all over the Midwest.
If you or someone you know would be interested in being a vendor or a sponsor there are several ways to so. Logo space is available on (1) the large banner that will hang across the street in Parkville, (2) on la arge banner that will hang on the stage in the park, (3) on the kids tent, and (4) on smaller signage. Donations for a silent auction and a raffle are gladly accepted.
Sponsors currently include Green Acres Market, Sonrisa Salon and Day Spa, Eden Alley, BRAS Breast Cancer Awareness Support, and more. We are offering local businesses and organizations a booth for $35; this is thirty dollars less than the non-resident vendors are paying. If you’re interested in sponsorship for banner logos, please call today details. We’re also accepting service coupons for the raffle. Here is the contact phones for additional questions: 816.785.3454 (Heidi) and 816.898.6177 (Maureen). Please use these same numbers for vendor agreements and general information about the festival.

Make: KC Organizational Meeting
A group of makers in the Kansas City area is organizing a meeting to talk about the forming of a Make: KC group. They write:
Do you enjoy creating new inventions or taking things apart to see how they work? Maybe you've seen some of the do-it-yourself projects in MAKE magazine but you're not sure how to finish certain steps.
This is an opportunity for tinkerers, inventors, makers, artists, and crafters to share your knowledge and inspiration with others from young to old in a family-friendly atmosphere.
We are planning for this meeting to include some show and tell projects using Arduino microcontrollers, as well as organizational topics and planning for future events as we launch this new group.
Here are the details:
Tuesday July 14, 2009
6 pm to 7 pm: Maker Show and Tell
7 pm to 8 pm: Organizational Meeting
Where:
HMS Beagle Science Store
180 English Landing Drive
Parkville, MO 64152
(816) 587-9998
