The event which drew vendors and other peo- <br /> ple into the park was called "Vortex" and had not received a park use permit, as required by city or- <br /> dinance. Posters had apparently becn distributed around the area advertising the event. Text of the <br /> posters reads as follows: "Vortex...High Noon...Maurie Jacobs Park, Eugene, OR...Sunday, July <br /> 23, 1995... Music- Theater - Drumming- Dance -Food- Crafts - Healing- Workshops - Tabling- Cames- <br /> Pagcantry...For More info, Call 503- 341- 3823...Printed on Hemp Paper...Save the Trees...A <br /> Free Event." At this time, investigators are attempting to determine the identity of the event's orga- <br /> nizers. <br /> The only permit issued for use of Maurie Jacobs Park on Sunday was for the "Spencer <br /> Butte Gazette Annual Potluck." That permit indicated that the event would be held from 4 to 8 <br /> p.m., with 30 to 40 people in attendance, and amplified sound between 6:01 and 8 p.m. That per- <br /> mit was issued to David R. Sweet, of Eugene. <br /> # ## <br />
