“Arts in the Park” and the Car Show today partnered with the Downtown Merchants Revitalization Board to bring people in to downtown Junction City.

Junction City Arts Council Director Michael Gray said there goal was to work together to “draw people in to the city.”

“We’ve had so much support,” Gray began, “so that alone means that last year said something about us, and it shows that we’re serious [about drawing people in to downtown].”

The A-T-A Bus offered shuttles back and forth from the Bi-Plane FlyIn to Heritage Park for the Arts in the Park and adjacent Car Show – put together by Chris Anderson, owner of Vernon’s Custom Jewelry in Junction City.

Gray says that “it was a great start, and we can continue to build on this until we fill this park up.”
