Due to <br />community interest in <br />expanding the activities <br />in the venue during the <br />summer months, Cultural <br />Services will issue a re- <br />quest for proposals to de- <br />termine if a better option <br />is available to expand <br />services to the community <br />through a private manage- <br />ment agreement. In addi- <br />tion to exploring options <br />for management, repre- <br />sentatives from the Faci- <br />lities and Parks & Open Entrance to Cuthbert Amphitheater <br />Space divisions joined <br />Cultural Services in a planning process to enhance the use of the ven- <br />ue for events of all sizes, and to integrate the venue more comforta- <br />bly into the surrounding park land. <br />Cultural Services manages the popular summer Concerts in the Parks <br />series featured at various community parks. This year an estimated <br />17,000 people attended 21 events at six locations. The summer series <br />kicked off with the We Are Bethel celebration at Petersen Barn Park, <br />and closed with the Multicultural Festival at Sheldon Community <br />Center Center. <br />Cultural Services operates both the Hult Center and Cuthbert Amphi- <br />theater primarily as rental facilities in order to manage financial risk. <br />13 <br />Multicultural Festival at Sheldon Center <br />
