Dear Mr. Hodges:
The Celebrate Colleyville Steering Committee would like to thank you for your input
regarding enhancing the Celebrate Colleyville annual holiday event. Mr. Nelson
Thibodeaux has attended the last several Celebrate Colleyville Steering Committee
meetings and shared your ideas with the committee.
The committee took your ideas into serious consideration and met again last week and
voted to move the annual event from City Park to the Village at Colleyville and Town
Center. The committee is very interested in working with your company to plan the 2004
Celebrate Colleyville event. On April 7, 2004, Mr. Nelson Thibodeaux presented to the
committee that the Village at Colleyville development would like to plan the event, "Light
up the Village" on Friday, November 26 (the day after Thanksgiving). This will involve
the committee providing dignitaries for the lighting of the holiday tree. The next day,
Saturday, November 27, would be planned and operated by the Village at Colleyville.
The following weekend the Celebrate Colleyville event will move to the Colleyville Center
and adjacent public streets. On Friday, December 3, Town Center Development will be
planning a private event at the Colleyville Center. The traditional Celebrate Colleyville
event will take place on Saturday, December 4, 2004.
The committee is currently working on a cost estimate to have two identical lighted
Celebrate Colleyville signs positioned on Main Street and SH26, as well as Church
Street and SH26. These signs will run parallel with the median in both developments.
The Celebrate Colleyville Committee is looking forward to growing this event, while
utilizing SH26 to our advantage to bring additional people into our City.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss this exciting opportunity at
817 -503-1120. I would like to discuss this new venture with a designated staff liaison
from the Town Center Development Corporation.

The entertainment was a mix of local and professional entertainment. The local
schools and dance studios provide an excellent source of entertainment for this
event, while at the same time, showcasing a glimpse of upcoming events already
on their calendars. We are very grateful for the professional entertainers such as
Amy and Annie with their crowd-pleasing wit and singing. .
The Colleyville Fire Department assisted Santa's arrival into the Park. Santa's
workshop began at 5:30. The Colleyville Lion's Club sponsored Santa's
Workshop. They decorated a designated area of the park and provided pictures
with Santa for a minimal fee.
The lighting of the holiday tree is always a special treat for the children attending
the event. The Celebrate Colleyville holiday tree is an American Holly. The
historical significance to this tree dates' back to our founding fathers. When the
Pilgrims landed the week llefore Christmas in 1620 on the coast of what is now
Massachusetts, the evergreen, prickly leaves and red berries of American holly
reminded them of the English holly, a symbol of Christmas for centuries in
England and Europe. George Washington was so fond of holly. That he planted
thirteen of them around his home. In fact, visitors toMt. Vernon can still observe
these same thirteen holly trees that encircle Washington's home, which were
planted over 200 years ago. American holly grows somewhat slowly, eventually
reaching a height of 15 to 30 feet in an erect but compact pyramidal or columnar
form. It's also not uncommon to see a tree grow nearly 50 feet tall. Branching
from the trunk begins at ground level; holly's can live for 100 years or more.
Radio Disney provided music and games for children of all ages. Jay Jenson, a
very popular OJ, had a two-hour on-site appearance. The Radio Disney Van was
stationed close to the inflatable areas to entertain children waiting their turn in
line. The Radio Disney Van was far enough away from the main stage area so
they did not compete with the main stage entertainers. This provided an added
entertainment venue at Celebrate Colleyville.
The City awarded $300 in cash prizes for the third Celebrate Colleyville Coloring
Contest. WSM Advertising agency generously reformatted the 2003 theme logo
as a black and white coloring image. We had over 115 coloring contest entries,
which is the largest return number is three years. The majority of the Coloring
Contest winners were children that live in Colleyville. The logo was placed in the
Star Telegram and on the city's web site for participants to download and mail
back into the city for judging. Lisa Adan was the staff liaison overseeing this
venue. She worked directly with the seniors, who served as the 2003 Coloring
Contest judges. This is the second consecutive year that the seniors judged the
Coloring Contest. During a scheduled seniors meeting all entries were judged
within each age category. The names were covered and the seniors voted for
first and second place winners of the age categories of 1-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12.
All first place winners received $50 in cash and second place winners received
$25 in cash. The winner's coloring entry was displayed on the holiday card
during the event.
The children's craft area was a huge success this year. The area was decorated
with city tents and holiday lights. The different crafts were: Face Painting,
Reindeer Antlers, Spin Art, Cookie Decorating (sponsored by Market Street),
Ornament Decorating, Sandy Candy, Build Your Own Bug, face painting, clowns,
and balloon artists. The children's craft area was busy all evening. Lisa Adan
did an outstanding job choosing fun and exciting crafts for kids of all ages to
participate. Lisa also utilized volunteers from Colleyville Heritage High School to
help pre-set all crafts and work the event that evening. Teen Court was also
used throughout the event, with the main emphasis assisting the children's craft
area.
A returning venue was pony rides, although we used a different company due to
Country Critters Farm Animals already having an event scheduled for the
December 6th date. The committee highly suggests that we book Country
Critters Farm Animals in advance to secure appearance at our next event.
This is the second year that Arts and Craft Vendors were invited to sell wares at
Celebrate Colleyville. The first year was in 2001, with 13 vendors participating.
This year, we had 33 vendor spaces available. There were thirty (30) booth
exhibitor spaces reserved from the DFW area as well as other surrounding
areas. Booths were 10' x 10' in size and the cost was $50 per space.
Electricity was available at an additional cost of $15 per space. Exhibitors were
responsible for all display equipment including tables and chairs. Booths were
assigned on a first come first serve basis.
A new and exciting venue this year was the inflatable area. The inflatable area
was placed within the confines of baseball field #8 to ensure safety of the
children. The cost to enter the inflatable area was $5 per person. A wristband
was placed on the participants arm. This one-time purchase allowed them to
enter the inflatable area during the entire event. The rides were for all age
groups including adults. The cost for this new venue was $2,995, which
included:
1. Rides:
a. Rock Climbing Wall
b. Spiderman Obstacle Challenge
c. Extreme Obstacle Challenge
d. Mickey's Fun House
e. Dual Slide
2. Five hours of operation
3. Professional staff operating each ride
At the event, approximately 453 participants entered the inflatable area collecting
$2,267 in fees. This new venue was the most popular feature this year. The
inflatable area had an arrqy of challenges for each age group, from the Mickey's
Fun House for smaller children to the 25' Rock Climbing Wall for all age groups.
This year the Celebrate Colleyville included a special exhibit called "Step Back in
Time." The special exhibit was set-up at the old police station bays on Bransford
Road. Included in the exhibit were some special items that have been collected
by Colleyville's Bobby Fitzgerald over the past 50 plus years. In addition, the
exhibit included antique and special event vehicles. Tommy Taylor's 1958 Texas
Highway Patrol Car and Rich Box, the Good Humor Man in his 1960 vintage ice
cream truck. Colleyville CAN sponsored the exhibit, a Colleyville based citizens
action group. The "Step Back in Time" exhibit was opened from 3pm to 7pm.
Colleyville CAN and the Colleyville Historical Preservation Committee donated
their time, along with Mr. Fitzgerald, to provide details and demonstrations of the
different antique items on exhibit. The event and exhibits were free to the public.
Pyrotex, Inc. provided a close-proximity ground effects based fireworks display
choreographed to music with an approximate run time' of ten minutes. The
display was fired from the three fields behind the stage. The display consisted
of ground effect items designed to fire in a range from 40 to 200 feet in height.
The show was custom designed and choreographed and synchronized between
the three fields. Pyrtoex, Inc. provided not only superb preCision but provided
the City another superb fireworks show.
Publicity
With the joint efforts of the Celebrate Colleyville Steering Committee,
LocalNewsOnly.com, Netmonthly.net and the Star Telegram and the City, this
event was promoted to the community and the surrounding areas. Promotions
through professional commercial aired on Channel 16, paper promotion through
LocaINewsOnly.com, Netmonthly.net, Star Telegram, Grapevine Sun, and the
Colleyville Courier. Also community newsletters such as the Colleyville
Communicator, Colleyville Area Chamber Commerce quarterly newsletter and

broadcast email announcements from the city and LocaINewsOnly.com. Press
releases and public service announcements were sent to the media one-month
prior to the event highlighting each artist and venue at Celebrate Colleyville.
Celebrate Colleyville made front page on the netmonthly.net newspaper for the
months of November and December. The December issue was dedicated to
Celebrate Colleyville by offering a four-page (full color) pullout as a promotional
ad. The ad contained a venue map, listed all participating arts and craft vendors,
highlighted the entertainment schedule, promoted each venue, listed all
participating sponsors as well as the schedule of events. Netmonthly.net was
distributed to over 15,000 residents in the Northeast Tarrant County area and this
four-page pullout served as the program for the event at no additional cost to the
City.
Other publicity efforts included the Northeast Tarrant County Arts Council
newsletter, public service announcements, news releases, commercial; posters
displayed at local businesses, city facilities and payroll stuffers. The Parks and
Recreation Department also advertised Celebrate Colleyville ~ Winter Nights,

The sponsorship funding, in the amount of $11,200, was above last year's
$8,300. The in-kind contributions for this event provided publicity, signage,
entertainment, food and beverage, electrical needs, and venue attraction for an
additional $37,000. The cash and in-kind sponsors are both needed to maintain
this level of event for the public. Each sponsor is an integral part of this event
and the Colleyville Steering Committee is grateful to each and every sponsor of
this event. This year the in-kind sponsorships increased from last year by more
than $20,000 and without this continued community support the event would
require additional monies from either sponsors or the City's budget.

purchasing, personnel allocations according to planned venues, security,
scheduling, preparation, set-up and break down and evaluation. Special event
planning will also be impacted by the complexity of the event.

for consideration by th~ Celebrate Colleyville Steering Committee:
./ FY 2004 - Celebrate Colleyville to move to the Colleyville Center and
adjacent public streets.
