PUBLISHER- THE CHRONICLE _• ___._—-—— On behalf of the staff of The Chronicle, I want to take the time to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Kwanzaa. We appreciate your support of this publication and we are honored to be your choice for community news. In the midst of .all of the hustle and bustle of the holidays, let us not forget that Jesus is the reason for the steason. As we gather to celebrate with our loved ones, we should keep in remembrance those who have paved the way, as we also remember those who may be less fortunate. This is the season to be merry and to celebrate the best of our culture. Happy Holidays! County looking to attract shows to parks BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE Forsyth County is cre ating incentives for per formances at parks and a master plan to add ameni ties to C.G. Hill Memorial Park in Pfafftown. The county authorized $50,000 to help bring an annual special event or series of- events to the amphitheaters at Triad or Tangle wood parks. County Parks Marketing and Events Coordinator Jessica Sanders told county com missioners during a brief ing last week that there was a good reception to the possibility of using incen tives to help bring shows to those parks. “We received confir mation that Forsyth County could become part of something special and that the funds would incen tivize organizations or individuals to jump start an •vent or series of events,” she said. Organizations that Sanders receive incentives would sign a contract with the county. In the first year, the county would cover 50 per cent of event insurance and the facility rental fee and 25 percent of law enforce ment and dumpster fees, up to $50,000. In, the second year it would cover 25 per cent for event insurance, facility rental, and law enforcement, up to $25,000. The third year the grantees pay 100 percent of all fees and would have to repay any assistance if they didn’t fulfill their agreement. Sanders said musical concerts are the most likely event that’ll be attracted to both venues. She said Andrade there’s interest in a patriot ic concert at Triad Park, which is home to the Triad Field of Honor, and a multi-day, multi-stage music festival at Tangle wood Park. The contracts for the events would be brought back before county commission ers for approval. Also during last week’s briefing, Marco Andrade with City/County Planning made a presentation on the C.G. Hill Memorial Park Master Plan. The park is located in Pfafftown. It’s 185 acres but only 10 acres have been developed so far. Planning staff held two public comment sessions Photos provided by Forsyth County The county is looking to attract more acts to this amphitheater at Triad Park. and received 430 survey responses. Currently the park has a trail, a gazebo and fishing. Residents said they’d like to see more trails, picnic shelters and a playground while preserv ing the nature found there. “What we heard is ‘Keep it as natural as possi ble,”’ said Andrade. The master plan pro poses nature and multi-use trails throughout the uride veloped forest, a play ground, volleyball court, horseshoe pits, picnic shel ters at two sites and an improved road with bike trail to give access to sev eral areas of the park. Park master plans are long-term plans that help the local government deter mine their future capital needs. More detailed stud ies will be needed to deter mine specific locations and estimated costs for new amenities.
