> Hi all,
>
> The Ithaca Festival is coming up soon on June 2 - 5! For the past  
> several years, there has been valet bike parking available, and  
> literally hundreds of people bike to the festival. In a nutshell,  
> valet bike parking is a volunteer run part of the festival, which  
> offers secure bike parking for Sunday June 5th at Stewart Park.  
> There is a fenced in area where we set up rows of bike racks, and  
> move bikes in and out as people come and go throughout the day.
>
> Last year, volunteers graciously parked over 100 bikes of all  
> varieties, including mountain bikes, city bikes, road racers, family  
> tandems with trail-a-bikes, folding bikes, kid trailers, and even an  
> electric-assist xtracycle or two. We had a fun time chatting about  
> bikes, drooling over the variety of interesting rides, and helping  
> festival goers park their bikes.
>
> WE NEED YOUR HELP! If you would like to volunteer on this day to  
> park bikes and join in on the fun, then please fill out our quick  
> and easy online form. It works well to volunteer for at least a few  
> hours at a time, although if you just have an hour as you're passing  
> by or want to stay all day then your help is certainly appreciated  
> too!
>

> any trouble there, just email me instead.
>
> I am coordinating the valet bike parking this year, so if you have  
> any questions, please email me or call my cell at 607-229-2641. We  
> will also have the "Way2Go Depot" tabling next to the bike parking  
> area with literature on biking, walking, TCAT and Ithaca Carshare,  
> and welcome any other reasonable related promotion you want to do on  
> your shift.

> Thanks for you help and hope to see you there,
