OCT 23 1993 <br />PROCLAMATION <br />DESIGNATING OCTOBER 30, 1993 <br />AS <br />CHILDREN'S ART FESTIVAL DAY <br />IN <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />COOK 90 FAGr R34 <br />WHEREAS, the Children's Art Festival, sponsored by the <br />Center for the Arts, will celebrate its thirteenth anniversary; <br />and <br />WHEREAS, the theme for this year's festival will be "Wear <br />Your Art." This event provides the opportunity for hands-on art <br />experiences for young people of all ages, preschoolers through <br />teens. The entire family can enjoy the student art displays, <br />entertainment, music and food available throughout the day; and <br />WHEREAS, the reason the Children's Art Festival came into <br />existence was because there was a concern by those involved in <br />establishing a Center for the Arts that the youth of the area <br />were underexposed and given limited opportunities to participate <br />in visual arts activities. Since the inception of the Children's <br />Art Festival twelve years ago, art instruction in the school <br />systems, both public and private, has increased significantly <br />making art and humanities awareness an enriching part of the <br />lives of the young people in our community: <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY <br />COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA that October 30, <br />1993 be designated as <br />CHILDREN'S ART FESTIVAL DAY <br />in Indian River County, and the Board expresses its appreciation <br />to the many hard working volunteers for instituting and <br />continuing this fine program for the youth in our community. <br />Adopted this 26 day of October, 1993. <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />Richard N.
