The 1988 Orange Bowl Running Series will be the first major event in the new Bayfront Park. All the various races have been combined into a single weekend festival including a sports and fitness trade exposition, a concert with major talent, corporate hospitality tents and all kinds of fun, food and music. The dates are February 19, 20 and 21, 1988. A copy of the announcement brochure is enclosed and in it you will find the entire program. We have had meetings with Commissioner Kennedy, Walter Golby and the Parks Department, the Police, the new Bayfront Park Trust and the management at Bayside. All have contributed to the formation of the new program. You and the commissioners, together with your assistant managers, directors .and staff have always been wonderfully helpful and great friends to our events so it is with special pleasure that we anticipate Bayfront Park becoming the permanent home for the Orange Bowl Running Series in late February each year. In this context, the nature of our appearance will be largely ceremonial and informative but there are some formalities for which we request your support and Commission approval as follows. 1. The closing of streets land limiting of access) on the race route of the American Savings Orange Bowl Marathon February 20, 1988 and the Orange Bowl 10,000 Meters February 21, 1988 as per arrangements with the police. 11„•.\t+,.•tt,.ut �.r.t+r',- � h.u� • 17�m1 '1 �i.tUi� n t�•i : t n' � �� .:,, c %e.ttt.;•• It..et!
