JULY 28, 2017, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A11 ECLIPSE: Reservations for Vacation Bible School KRP camp rolling in quick options abound in Aug. (Continued from Page A1) Barker is looking for assistance at the park in the evenings of Aug. 14 and 15 to help mark off campsites. Those interested in volun- teering during the festival for grounds maintenance, mer- chandise sales, parking assis- tance, equipment check out and registration can sign up at www.keizereclipse.com. Reservations for camping are also ramping up. About 120 of the 169 available spaces have been reserved with more com- ing in each day. Keizer City Councilor Mar- lene Parsons, who is heading up the organizing efforts, said about 10 new reservations came in the day of the meet- ing. Reservations are coming in from all over the United States. Visitors from Hawaii, Mary- land, Chicago, Texas, California, Washington and Idaho have booked spaces. There is even a small group coming from Eu- rope. “They are backpacking across the United States and this is going to be a side trip for them before they continue on,” Parsons said. Parsons said she also fi elded a call wondering if the camping options were a scam given the availability and the relative bar- gain price compared to what other spaces are going for in the days leading up to the eclipse. Some plans are being scaled back slightly while others for the event are becoming more fully-formed. Originally, there were plans for two food trucks in addition to meals being served by the Keizer Rotary Amphitheatre. Plans are now for a shaved ice and ice cream truck along with a food stand provided by El Patron. Organizers are also looking for donations of bottled water to be sold in the park. Parsons said she already has about 60 cases, but would like 100. If businesses are interested in do- nating, logos on the bottles are permissible. Contact Parsons at keizereclipse@gmail.com to plan drop-off. Commemorative T-shirts will be available for $15. Earlier discussions included possible volleyball tournaments and a frisbee golf tournament, but concerns about parking, crowds and general traffi c as- sociated with the eclipse have altered the plan. Visitors will likely be able to check out equipment for use in both lo- cations, but no formal events will be scheduled. A family bike ride is slated Sunday, Aug. 20. There will also be three free concerts the weekend of the eclipse. Syco Billy will perform Friday, Aug. 18; Ty Curtis is slated for Saturday, Aug. 19, and violinist David Klinkenberg will perform during the eclipse Monday, Aug. 21. “I’ve heard some people saying they will stay away from the park that weekend, but we want all of our regular Keizer and Salem people to come for the concerts – especially on Friday and Saturday,” Parsons said.
