Student group wins council approval for River Park bonfire and outdoor movie
Summary
Members of the Delta Magic Rising Leaders program asked the Helena City Council for a permit to hold a community bonfire and outdoor movie at River Park as a capstone project; the council moved, seconded and approved the permit and directed staff to complete sign-offs.
Madison O'Brien, representing the Delta Magic Rising Leaders program, asked the Helena City Council for a permit to host a community bonfire and outdoor movie at River Park as a capstone project for the students.
O'Brien read the list of students involved and described the planned event — an outdoor movie screen, music, hot chocolate, s'mores and goodie bags — and said the group hopes the event "will bring excitement to our community." After a brief discussion about logistics, Councilmember Harris moved to approve the permit request and Miss Miller seconded the motion. The clerk called the roll and the motion carried; councilmembers recorded affirmative votes and directed department heads to complete any remaining sign-offs so staff could finalize the permit by the next day.
The council did not place additional conditions on the event during the meeting; staff and the student organizers were told to coordinate on required approvals. The event location was described as River Park along the Mississippi River; the requested date in the presentation was this Friday. No additional permits or public-safety conditions were recorded in the minutes at the time of the vote.
The council's approval allows the student organizers to proceed with permitting steps and with the event-planning details already presented to the council.
