Parks & Recreation, Cultural Council outline free concerts, movies and family events for summer on the common
Summary
The Parks and Recreation group and North Brookfield Cultural Council announced a schedule of free concerts on the common for May–August, movies on the common, a trunk-or-treat, and a Thanksgiving "gobble wobble" fun run; selectmen and committee members encouraged public participation.
A Parks and Recreation representative and members of the North Brookfield Cultural Council told the Board of Selectmen on Feb. 25 that free concerts will be held on the town common on the last Saturday of May, June, July and August. The announced schedule: Ravenwood on May 31, Chevy LeBlanc (a dance party and karaoke) on June 28, Stan Matthews and the Roughriders on July 26, and the Superchargers on Aug. 30.
Organizers said the events will be free and encouraged attendees to bring chairs or blankets; they are also working to line up food trucks. The Parks and Rec representative said the committee is also planning movies on the common, taking over the annual trunk-or-treat event, and exploring a shorter "gobble wobble" Thanksgiving fun run for families who do not want to run a 5K.
Selectmen and committee members thanked volunteers, and Chairperson Brandon specifically praised Nancy for leading the Parks and Recreation committee's entertainment programming. Committee members asked residents to watch for event announcements and to bring weather-appropriate gear.
No formal votes or funding decisions were recorded for these events at the Feb. 25 meeting; organizers asked for community participation and said logistics (food trucks, vendor permits, and timing) are in planning stages.
