Parks and Recreation Board members discussed and narrowed options for the daddy‑daughter dance schedule and confirmed simple food and beverage choices for the event.
Board members said a two‑shift format works best and suggested shortening each shift to about 90 minutes so most families would leave earlier in the evening. Options discussed included 4:30 to 6 and 6:30 to 8, and an alternative that would end by 8 p.m. A board member said, "I think being done by 8 is good." Another member proposed 5 to 6:30 and 7 to 8:30 to accommodate different family schedules.
On refreshments, members agreed to the same menu as the prior year: bite‑size cookies and brownies and punch, with water available. "The food is just gonna be the cookies again like last year," one member said. A member who had helped with previous events described volunteer needs and suggested capping volunteer numbers at each shift to avoid overcrowding.
Board members said they would update and circulate a promotional graphic once final times were chosen. One member offered to help with decorations and the photo‑booth area; another said they would set up a simple photo space and allow parents to take pictures with their phones. Several members noted younger children tended to leave earlier in the evening, informing the decision to shorten each shift. The meeting did not record a formal vote setting specific start and end times; staff were directed to finalize the schedule and push out the information to the public.
