Question 6

What about parking?

Accepted Answer

GREEN: Festival Area

PURPLE: FREE PARKING AREAS (Also down West Main there is the Middle School Parking Lot and on down is Owingsville Elementary School)

The only NO PARKING AREA we have is on Coyle Street and North Brooks Alley. That is where our Detour Traffic will be driving. If you park anywhere in the RED your car may not be there when you get back, because violators will be towed.

Use your best judgement and don’t block any driveways, parking lot entrances, or private property. You will be towed if you do.
