Summary
Officials announced a second‑weekend holiday festival at Mineola Memorial Park on Dec. 13–14 with family activities, vendors and a Polar Express visit; residents were also reminded about revised sanitation schedules and a library wreath‑making event.
Mineola officials invited residents to the village’s second annual holiday festival at Mineola Memorial Park on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 13 and 14, listing family activities and dozens of vendors.
The presiding official said attractions include a Polar Express event and "a visit from a special someone" at 6 p.m. on Saturday, along with igloos, heated tents and a variety of crafts and food vendors. "So please come on down to Mineola Memorial Park this Saturday and Sunday, December for our second annual holiday festival," the presiding official said.
Deputy Mayor Sartore, who reported attending a Chamber of Commerce year‑end celebration, urged residents to "shop local" to support restaurants and small businesses, adding, "If you don't support them and they disappear, it's our own fault." She also noted the library will host a wreath‑making event tomorrow at 6:30 p.m.
Residents were reminded that holiday sanitation schedules have been revised and that color‑coded flyers were distributed; extra copies are available at Village Hall or by contacting the clerk's office, and the new schedule is posted on the village website.
Trustee Casado thanked volunteer firefighters who will escort Santa, Frosty and Rudolph through village streets over the next two weeks, encouraging families to enjoy the events.
The announcements accompanied routine board business; no public comments were offered during the meeting.
