Good evening, everybody. It's Tuesday, June 24th. This is our 630 discussion session. I believe Gary Carter is going to give us a presentation on our fiscal year 2026 event plan. Hey, good evening. Gary Carter, Director of Economic Development. As usual, we usually do this event presentation prior to any budget conversations for the upcoming next fiscal year so we can make any adjustments necessary before those adoptions take place. So this was the event calendar this year. This is all inclusive of all city events, so whether it's fire departments or parks or Century Foundation or all of them all together. So this is what our calendar looks like, and the attempt here is to show you everything that is going on because we will only talk about a handful of events tonight that myself and Kristen are responsible for producing. Okay. These are the ones that were, excuse me, funded by the Special Business District. So we did early in October, we did the Day of the Dead. Mayor Harris was kind of the driver behind that one, helped putting that together. And then we launched into Restaurant Week, Cardinals Home Opener. And we started in April with our series of block series events, which are funded out of the general fund because they are taking place outside of the special business district. And then in June, we move on to the music and wine festival, which we just had that was able to be pulled off, even though with the spotty rain.
