(Atlantic) Produce in the Park invites local public servants in elected and appointed commissions who serve Cass County and the City of Atlantic to participate in a Local Government Night at the farmers market on Thursday, September 4.
The goal of the evening is to provide an opportunity for members of the public to learn more about local government in an informal setting and to have the chance to ask questions about their work.
Produce in the Park strives to build community, and the farmers market is hoping to have as many boards, commissions, and elected officials represented as possible. Participants are asked to come prepared to discuss their roles, current projects, meeting times and locations, how the public can contact them, and common misconceptions about their positions.
Those serving on local boards and commissions or in elected offices are encouraged to participate and asked to RSVP to Produce in the Park (produceintheparkatlanticiowa@gmail.com) by Monday, September 1.
As of Monday, August 18, members of the Atlantic City Council and Cass County Board of Supervisors have agreed to be in attendance, along with Mayor Grace Garrett, Cass County Treasurer Tracey Marshall, and Cass County Recorder Mary Ward.
Produce in the Park is held in the Atlantic City Park from 4:30–6:30 PM every Thursday from June through the end of September. All are welcome, and admission is free.
