The Riverside Park Amphitheater 2008 Summer Concert Series is gearing up for another great summer but organizers need your help.
If your organization, church group, social group, Relay for Life Team, etc. would like to make extra money this summer the amphitheater committee would like to help you out.
“We are in need of groups to set up at concerts to sell concessions. Items that you could sell would be soft drinks, bottled water, candy bars, bags of chips, popcorn, nachos and cheese, hotdogs, sloppy joes, etc. On cool nights, coffee, hot chocolate and chili go over well,” Carla Sharpe said.
You must go through the Rush County Health Department to get a health permit if food is to be sold.
