International Days, drone show and bike race draw crowds; council reviews logistics
Summary
Councilmembers reported record attendance at International Days, described changes to a planned drone show and noted a weekend bike race that will bring thousands of visitors to Price.
Councilmembers reported that recent community events drew large crowds and discussed logistical follow-up for upcoming events.
Tanner and others briefed the council on a drone show that will launch from Washington Park; the council arranged to broadcast synchronized music over a local radio station so attendees can hear the soundtrack at their location. Councilmembers also recapped International Days, which committee members recommended holding Aug. 5–8 to accommodate the carnival, and said attendance at recent concerts averaged about 300 per event, with some events drawing larger crowds.
Councilmember Lane said the upcoming bike race will bring an estimated 3,000 visitors who will use local hotels and restaurants. Staff and volunteers were encouraged to prepare for heavier traffic and hospitality demands. Councilmembers also discussed minor logistical items including temporary roll-off dumpsters for event cleanup and fence installation for course safety.
No council action was required; staff will continue event planning and coordination with vendors and public-safety staff.
