Fredonia Radio Systems gains approval for Rockin' in the Commons event at Barker Commons

Trustees of Fredonia made significant strides during their recent workshop and meeting on May 27, 2025, with key decisions impacting community events and local support initiatives.

One of the standout moments was the unanimous approval for the Fredonia Radio Systems to host the "Rockin' in the Commons" event at Barker Commons on September 27, 2025. This event is set to run from 7 AM to 7 PM, coinciding with the village's festival weekend. The trustees acknowledged the importance of this event, with Trustee Esperson, Brockwood, Wandel, and Twitchell all voting in favor, ensuring that the community will have a vibrant gathering to look forward to.

In addition to event planning, the meeting highlighted ongoing efforts in community support. A trustee expressed gratitude for the participation in the recent Memorial Day service, emphasizing the vital role of local American Legions and VFWs in honoring veterans. The trustee noted the challenges these organizations face in maintaining such traditions, underscoring the importance of community involvement in recognizing the sacrifices of former heroes.

Moreover, the meeting celebrated the delivery of a new park piano, titled "4 Legged Friends" by Mackenzie Sheldon, which has been placed in the gazebo. This addition not only enhances the aesthetic of the downtown area but also encourages public performances, enriching the cultural fabric of Fredonia.

As the summer recreation program gears up for sign-ups, the trustees are optimistic about the community's engagement and the positive impact of these initiatives. The decisions made during this meeting reflect a commitment to fostering community spirit and supporting local events, setting the stage for an exciting summer ahead.
