Sharon Levy-Cohen from the Hamilton AM Rotary Club and Patti Cannon from Arts Hamilton spoke of Imagine in the Park, an arts festival for children aged 3 - 12. Since its inception in 2011 to this past year, attendance has grown from 1000 children to 2700 who participate in a variety of hands on workshops presented by various artists in literature, music, visual, dance and theater. The festival which takes place at Gage Park in Hamilton on the first Saturday of June is free. The $13 500 budgeted to run the festival comes from sponsorships ranging from $500 to sponsor an artist, $750 for an artist and tent, to $1000 for a complete workshop. Yes, Sharon and Patti would like financial support from our club or us as individuals but they would also like us to promote the event to our families and friends and actually volunteer the day of the event.
