In a recent government meeting, officials reported on the success of a community event held in June, which saw a significant increase in participation compared to previous years. The event, which featured 15 activities and four musical performances, attracted approximately 559 registered attendees, with estimates suggesting total attendance could reach between 500 to 600 people.

The decision to move the event from its traditional date to June 1 was made to take advantage of warmer weather, a change that proved beneficial as attendees enjoyed perfect conditions. Organizers implemented a registration process to ensure liability waivers were completed for various activities, enhancing safety and organization.

Collaboration among local organizations was highlighted as a key factor in the event's success. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers participated by offering water safety training, while the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts secured grant funding for talent performances. Additionally, the event featured a mascot, \"Murray the Squirrel,\" which drew positive attention from children and families.

Feedback from volunteers and attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing surprise at the beauty of the park and the quality of the activities. Transportation logistics were improved this year, with bus services provided by Arc Glo, alleviating traffic concerns and ensuring smooth access to the park.

Overall, the event was deemed a success, with organizers expressing gratitude for the community's support and the collaborative efforts that contributed to a memorable experience for all involved.
