Thanks for covering the hearing! The commissioners really should reconsider because Jimmy’s is not a huge destructive event like Strictly Blugrass or Outside Lands. It is small, family-friendly, does no damage to the park and is well loved. There is no reason not to let it continue for its 22nd year.

Even Pebble beach allows parking cars on the grass once a year for the concourse.
I think the thousands of people that come to the park on foot for all of the events cause more long term damage to the grass. Living in an urban environment, you come to expect events like Jimmy’s. GG Park is a great place to share these beautiful cars that are a part of our history and heritage.
