Raise business awareness with events
Letter to the editor

I’d like to see Mission Viejo hold events similar to a street fair at times besides July 4. The July event is successful, but it’s usually too hot to enjoy being there during the day. If the city were either to sponsor or encourage events at some of the retail centers, it would help business and raise people’s awareness of businesses around town.

I’ve been to “A Taste of the Lake,” which was fine, and it could be expanded. People will come out for almost anything, and most of the events I’ve attended have had a good crowd. Events in other communities are very successful, and they’re attracting customers from cities all around them. Letters to the editor have asked for economic development for the city, and it would work if someone would organize it.
