[0:04] Hi everyone, Drew with the Chanass and
[0:06] Communications team. We're launching a
[0:08] new twice monthly video series that
[0:10] takes you behind the scenes in our parks
[0:11] and rec programs, events, and facility
[0:13] operations. So, let me introduce you to
[0:15] the team.
[0:16] >> Hi, my name is Pria.
[0:23] My favorite event or program that we are
[0:26] involved in is the Chan Hansen
[0:28] homecoming parade. I think the
[0:30] homecoming parade is my favorite because
[0:32] of all of the different departments and
[0:34] event partners we get to work with and
[0:36] seeing people of all ages come together
[0:38] and celebrate Chanhassen.
[0:40] >> Luke Kegley.
[0:46] My favorite program is Febfest. I love
[0:49] the community going out and auging all
[0:52] those holes. I love just the DJ that we
[0:55] have. Um it's a great program. Gary
[0:58] Bird.
[1:05] My favorite event uh for the city of
[1:07] China is Febfest. I absolutely love ice
[1:10] fishing. So, it's really fun to be out
[1:12] there and witnessing all these people
[1:14] engaged in that activity. You know, we
[1:15] get everyday anglers and people who are
[1:18] trying it for the first time. So, it's
[1:19] very accessible and a lot of fun out on
[1:21] the ice.
[1:22] >> Mary Blazinan.
[1:29] >> I actually with the senior center, I
[1:31] think my favorite programs are the trips
[1:34] we take because I get to explore new
[1:36] places, see shows I wouldn't normally
[1:38] see, have lunch with great friends, and
[1:40] just take a day to be out and about.
[1:41] Those are my favorite. Jodie Sorrows.
[1:49] So, my favorite event is the Barnyard
[1:51] Boogie, and we host that every fall. We
[1:54] have farm animals, we have music,
[1:57] dancing, crafts, snacks, just a really
[2:00] fun time for the kids and families to
[2:02] get out and and enjoy the fall here in
[2:04] Chanhassen. Jerry Rugerr.
[2:12] My favorite event with this city has to
[2:14] be the 4th of July. Obviously, we've
[2:16] offered this um program for uh several
[2:19] decades that really brings families
[2:21] together. So, that brings us as uh staff
[2:23] members a lot of joy that we uh uh bring
[2:26] to the community. It really brings
[2:27] people together uh really for an annual
[2:30] like almost reunion with family and
[2:31] friends. So, that's really one of my
[2:33] favorite events.
