The town paid for a new stage that can accommodate large groups like Kent’s All Stars and the 11-member Prince tribute band, The Purple Ones, performing Aug. 7. “We hired them before Prince died,” Kent said. He added, “We’re having a great time. People genuinely appreciate what we’re doing; it’s part of the fabric of summer.”. Since Kent helped launch the Los Gatos Park Dance that’s held on Labor Day weekends at Oak Meadow Park, that event is now part of the Music in the Park season.

Heather Lerner doesn’t tend to stop at the first “no.” Not even the first dozen. So it’s not a big surprise that the executive director of the Happy Hollow Foundation persevered until she finally got the OK to have a full-sized hot-air balloon floating at Kelley Park at this year’s Hoot & Howl on Saturday. Having the colorful balloon as the centerpiece for the Happy Hollow Park & Zoo “French Pop”-themed fundraiser has been in Lerner’s mind for more than a year. It took months to make it happen, Lerner said, with a lot of help from various sources — Method 42 Productions, the Happy Hollow Foundation board and Pauline Tarpey with the City of San Jose, who made sure every safety document was taken care of. Final approval was given just 24 hours before the event was due to start, so many of the 700-plus party guests had no idea what was coming when the balloon began to rise from the Happy Hollow meadow.
