greatly in order be apart of our concert series and will perform for $2,000 and we are asking Deschutes County to
cover the $2,000. Comfort Suites is providing three complementary rooms to host Stolen Sweets over night.
Community First Bank is our Title Sponsor at $6,000 and Pacific Power is our Patron Sponsor at $2,500. We will
be inviting the VFW, the National Guard and all those who have served or are serving in the military to be our
honored guest. We will be marketing the Concert Series outside of Central Oregon to help grow our tourism
industry. The Music on the Green Concert Series is FREE to the public and your support will help us greatly
