Perkins Parks & Recreation sets Oct. 19 for movie in the park; organizers note licensing, logistics
Summary
Board selected Oct. 19 as the date for the fall movie in the park, approved location at Nixon, and discussed movie licensing costs and concessions; event is weather‑dependent.
The Perkins Parks and Recreation Board voted to hold its fall movie in the park on Oct. 19, selecting Nixon as the likely venue and making the date weather‑dependent.
Board members discussed timing — preferring September/October for cooler weather — and the practicalities of licensing the film. One board member said licensed movie showings were “all gonna be about $600,” and the group noted some titles (for example, Minecraft) may not yet have public‑performance rights available. The board agreed to select the date and to confirm film availability before finalizing the title.
Logistics discussed included concessions and food trucks. Board members said they planned a basic concession offering (popcorn and drinks) and expected to invite food trucks; one member said they could run both concession stands and food trucks concurrently as done previously. The group also discussed avoiding conflicts with local school events and football schedules when choosing a date.
A motion to set the event for Oct. 19, weather permitting, was made and seconded; roll call recorded affirmative votes from Dustin, Ashley, Chris and Emily. The board also discussed holding the event at Nixon Park again because the fields are larger and more feasible for the crowd and vendor setup.
