Library and recreation staff report festival plans and sponsors; Lookout Credit Union among sponsors
Summary
Recreation and library staff updated the council on the fall festival lineup and vendor outreach, noted the recreation director’s attendance at a national conference, and listed early sponsors for the library’s Festival of Trees event, including Lookout Credit Union and Caribou Medical Center.
The council received updates from recreation and library staff about fall programming and upcoming community events.
Jessica (recreation) — attending the National Recreation and Parks Association conference — reported vendor outreach and that flag football and volleyball seasons are operating with volunteer coaches. Fall festival activities planned include bingo (run by student council), the pavilion, bounce houses and goldfish races. Staff are finalizing vendors and entertainment; student council will run the bingo booth and music is being arranged.
Library staff reported progress on the Festival of Trees fundraising and sponsorships. Early title‑level sponsors (each cited as $1,500 donations) include Soda Smiles (note: local business name referenced as “Soda Smiles”), Paul Gritton, Lookout Credit Union and Caribou Medical Center. Donations and volunteer support are being coordinated and a costume sale is scheduled prior to the festival.
Why it matters: The fall festival and library fundraising engage community groups and local businesses and require city coordination for vendor support and event logistics.
Next steps: Recreation staff will follow up with vendors and finalize festival scheduling; library staff will continue sponsorship outreach and programming; staff will coordinate logistics with council as needed.
