Council members emphasized the importance of spreading the word through community organizations, churches, and schools to boost attendance and foster a sense of togetherness.

During the meeting, a representative from the recreation committee expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve and highlighted that each district is represented in their efforts. The committee aims to create enjoyable experiences for residents, with hopes that this year's events will be even more engaging, possibly benefiting from cooler weather.

This push for community involvement reflects the council's commitment to enhancing local participation and strengthening community ties. As the city prepares for these events, officials are optimistic about the positive impact on Goldsboro's social fabric.
