Plans moving apace for Linden Town Week 2018

The Linden Mayor and Town Council (LM&TC) has been moving ahead with ambitious plans to make Linden Town Week 2018 an unprecedented event that would leave ‘a footprint on the town’.
In the making is a ‘Visitors Park,’ to be established at the Kara-Kara Dyke, which is to be completed with benches, pathway, and all the other recreational amenities, along with a three dimensional “I Love Linden” signboard to greet visitors.
The latter is expected to be a 3D structure hoisted on a solid concrete base. This is in keeping with a 2016 Local Government campaign promise by the Council, after recognizing the need to promote tourism locally as one of its initiatives.
Meanwhile, the LM&TC, through the generous support of Jai Signs and Auto Sales Supply, will be erecting fourteen (14) street signs, seven of which will be set up at Wismar while the other seven would be in Mackenzie. According to the LM&TC, this necessary public/private approach to the event’s planning and execution would allow the Council to shoulder responsibility for a few of the community-based events, while allowing the stakeholders to undertake others in keeping with their corporate social responsibility to Linden.
Events such as the ‘All Black’ Party and the ‘Linden Town Week Pageant’, among others, will be franchised out through invitation for bids. In the process, expressions of interest are expected to be done via writing to the Council.
According to the LM&TC, applications for bidding of events will come at a cost of $2500 dollars and $1000 for non-profit organizations. Additionally, paying for vending spots will commence on March 5, and will run until March 23, 2018.
