<DIV> Music from the Hog Heaven Big Band, an opportunity to question Moscow
City Council members, and a showcase for local artists will highlight the second
annual Moscow Civic Association Celebration in the Park, to be held in East City

and everyone is encouraged to bring a picnic dinner and a blanket or lawn
chair.<BR> The event begins with stories for children from Troy Sprenke and
Priscilla Wegars. At 6pm, the Hog Heaven Big Band will play a one-hour
set, followed by keynote speaker Dean Stewart. A panel of members of the
Moscow City Council and city staff will then answer questions from the
audience.<BR> At 8pm, the performance art competition will begin, to be
followed by music and dancing from the Hog Heaven Big Band. <BR> The
arts competition will include two categories, visual arts and performances, that
will be judged separately. The visual arts category includes but is not limited
to: photography, drawings, paintings, sculpture, mixed media, collage, fabric
art, and cartoons. The performance category includes but is not limited
to: music (vocal and/or instrumental), skits, dance, and poetry or prose of any

$50, $30, and $20 for first, second, and third place winners in both
categories. <BR> Artists and performers who want to participate in
