Plans are in place and arrangements made for the Aug. 29
Englewood Days celebration.
The one-day event is a community celebration, focusing the
spotlight on many of the businesses and activities that help make
up Englewood.
A number of circumstances resulted in cancellation of last
year’s event but planners of the grass-root organized event said it
will be bigger and better than ’07.
The event includes a car show, live entertainment, a sidewalk
sale, a motorcycle show and a farmer’s market. The parking lot in
the 3400 block of South Acoma Street will be the site of a
Spotlight on Englewood that will include booths and displays by
city departments, Englewood Schools, service clubs and other
organizations.
“There are more activities and many of the events are scheduled
to be bigger this year,” said Doug Cohn, one of the organizers.
“For example, the Spotlight on Englewood is new and the Taste of
Englewood has grown from a few vendors in ’07 but this year we have
26 signed up for the event.”
The two main areas are the parking lots behind the businesses in
the 3400 block of South Broadway. On the east side, the 3400 block
of Lincoln Street will be blocked off for the day to provide more
space for Englewood Days activities.
