Council authorizes Taste of Hiram to move to Grays Mill Park on March 29
Summary
Council voted to allow the Hiram Rosenwald School Museum to use Grays Mill Park for the Taste of Hiram event after staff said downtown space could not accommodate about 48 vendors and a dozen food trucks.
The City of Hiram council approved a request allowing the Hiram Rosenwald School Museum to use Grays Mill Park on March 29, 2025, for the museum’s Taste of Hiram event.
Tyrone Griffin, the event organizer, told the council the downtown venue proved infeasible after vendor concerns and space limitations. Griffin said the event would involve roughly 48 vendors and "about 12, 14 food trucks," and that the downtown footprint could not safely accommodate vendors, food trucks and restroom access.
Under new business the council considered item 7. An unnamed councilmember moved to authorize the Hiram Rosenwald School Museum’s use of Grays Mill Park on 03/29/2025 and another unnamed councilmember seconded. The chair then called for the vote: “Discussion, all in favor? Opposed?” The transcript records the motion being approved without a recorded roll‑call tally.
The approval was presented as a single permitting authorization for the use of city park property for a community event. Staff said they had notified vendors who could not participate and would continue event coordination. No fee or conditions were specified in the public transcript.
