Selectmen approve series of temporary‑event permits including boat show, parades, pickleball camps and community festivals
Summary
After a grouped set of public hearings, the board approved multiple temporary-event permits for summer and spring activities at town docks, parks and fields; organizers described each event and no speakers opposed the applications.
The Wolfeboro Board of Selectmen held a block of public hearings on April 2 and approved several temporary‑event permits for spring and summer 2025. Each application was taken in a public hearing; in most cases event organizers described the activity and no members of the public spoke against the permits.
Approvals included: - New England Lyman Group annual boat show at the town docks (June 14, 9 a.m.–2 p.m.; permit 2025‑21). Betsy Bryant described the static display of boats and light programming and noted long local history of the event. - American Legion Post 18 Memorial Day parade and ceremony along South Main Street and the town docks (May 26; permit 2025‑22). Tom Southern described parade route and band participation; selectmen approved the permit and included a public reminder of the National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m. on Memorial Day. - New Hampshire Lakes Region Pickleball Club Level‑Up camps at Fosse Field (single‑day camp in September; permit 2025‑20). Parks and Rec noted the group has run similar events previously and the club will pay standard field fees. - Wolfeboro Parks & Recreation events including Arbor Day tree‑planting and service at Fosse Field and other town locations (May 2; permit 2025‑25), Bike & Walk Day breakfast stations at Town Hall and Huggins Hospital (May 9; permit 2025‑26), Stacy Burns 5K at Carpenter School (May 10; permit 2025‑27), and a Summer Kickoff at Pop Whalen Ice & Arts Center (June 28; permit 2025‑28). Parks & Rec described program details and vendor plans; the board asked about accessibility (handicap parking) and approved the permits.
For each permit the board took a motion and a second and carried approvals by voice vote. Several applicants noted prior editions of their events in town. Where organizers provided set‑up times (for example, a boat show set‑up at 8 a.m.) the board recorded those in the meeting notes.
