Fall festival drew crowds; city readies for Saturday car show with shuttle and vendors
Summary
City staff reported the fall festival attracted 64 vendors and used shuttle service and an amphitheater photo area; a car show is scheduled for Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m., with an expected 70–80 cars and a beer truck.
City staff reported that the recent fall festival held at Chris Roos Park had a strong turnout and logistical supports that helped manage parking and attendees.
Staff said the festival ran Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., included 64 vendors (food trucks, craft vendors, nonprofits and local businesses) and used a shuttle between Park Street and the festival grounds to ease parking. Organizers set up a photo area at the amphitheater and sold Pendergrass-branded shirts, hats, travel mugs and tote bags; staff said those items remain for sale at city hall and will also be available at the upcoming car show.
The council heard that the car show is scheduled for Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m., with organizers expecting roughly 70–80 cars and several small vendors; staff said a beer truck will be on site but described that as limited service rather than a large beer garden. Staff also described porta‑toilet placement and other site preparations, including installation of a short track bed for a small train feature.
Council members asked about policy parameters for beer/wine on city property; staff described general location controls and an intent to block rights-of-way as needed but did not provide a detailed written permit condition during the discussion.
Ending: The council did not take formal action; staff said they plan to repeat the festival next year and will continue to refine permit and rental agreements for amphitheater events.
