Movie‑night debrief: new popcorn machine shows rust, equipment cleanup needs
Summary
Spark members reviewed an October outdoor movie night, reporting weather‑related low attendance, a new popcorn machine that is rusting and causing sticking problems, and wet equipment stored in town facilities. The commission will contact the vendor before scrapping the old machine and arrange screen cleaning.
Members debriefed the October outdoor movie and discussed equipment problems and cleanup tasks.
The commission reported attendance was reduced by rain and that cleanup was hampered by wet conditions. Public Works assisted with tarps and moving leftover items, but members said the screen and some gear are musty and will need cleaning before next season.
A newly purchased popcorn machine is showing rust on the bottom and popcorn sticking to the cooking pot. Members discussed seasoning, silica gel, storage under a trash bag and whether the unit is still under warranty. They agreed not to discard the older machine yet: one backup pot exists in storage and may be tested to see if it fits the new unit. Members asked a designated volunteer to contact the vendor for troubleshooting and warranty clarification before a final decision.
Technical issues were also reported with a wireless microphone that intermittently cut out during the event; members recommended testing and troubleshooting before the next use and confirmed that essential electrical equipment has been moved to the basement for storage.
