Enjoying its 20th anniversary, the Drake Park Munch & Music free concert series continues to be a summertime favorite. Founded by Cameron Clark, owner of C3 Events, the weekly series provides the community of Central Oregon with a great chance to strengthen their bond while enjoying the arts, outstanding food and free music.
This energetic and positive gathering place allows us to provide dependable opportunities for youth to participate, work, and volunteer in their community. And we accomplish this in a way that respects the adjacent neighborhoods.
Each week this season will honor a "Munch and Music Maker"; an individual who was instrumental in building the foundation for and supporting the growth of Munch and Music. 
This weeks honoree is Ashley Carson. Ashley wrote the following about her experience -“Volunteering for Munch and Music was my very first job working in the non-profit sector. I truly enjoyed raising money for such a fantastic organization. Now, almost 20 years later I run a national non-profit organization out of Washington, DC and I utilize the skills I first acquired through Cameron Clark and his crew every single day to support low income older women. Munch and Music adds so much to the community as a great place to catch up with friends and family. I wish Cameron and his crew the very best and may they have another 20 years of success!”
