All-America City Block Party
August 27, 1999

The All-America City Block Party, held on August 27, 1999, was fun and entertaining for all who attended. In addition to the free Marie Callender's apple pie, ice cream and Pepsi, there was the official All-America City presentation, non-stop entertainment and great food from local restaurants.

	A couple of hours prior to the Block Party, City Hall was decorated for the All-America event
	When the presentation got underway, most of the crowd gathered in front of City Hall to watch Stockton receive the award. The event was broadcast live on cable channel 30 by MediaOne.
	A very special part of the presentation was the raising of the new Stockton flag. The flag features the City Seal.
	As the flag was raised, Peter Jaffe (conductor) and members of the Stockton Symphony played "Stockton Fanfare."
	At the conclusion of the presentation, the Stagg High School Marching Band impressed the crowd as they made their way down Center Street.
	Several area restaurants were open for business, next to the Civic Memorial Auditorium.
	Center Street was transformed into a play center of sorts... complete with a rock climbing wall.
	Volunteer Firefighter Auxiliary members set up a first aid station at the event. Many non-profit booths were also in Martin Luther King Plaza.
	Another popular part of the event was the wide range of entertainment.
