Summary
A local resident urged the Rio Blanco County commissioners to change who manages the Rangeley park, saying past events failed to attract vendors and promising to help organize a community club and work with the Chamber of Commerce and 4‑H parents to revive programming.
A resident told the Rio Blanco County commissioners on Jan. 13 that the Rangeley park needs new management and volunteer organization to restore successful events.
“The main concern is that somehow or another, we need to get out from under the control of the 3 people that you have in charge of it right now,” the speaker said during the public‑comment period, adding that vendors who attended prior events “didn't…want to go back out there.” The speaker said they would help form a club and work with Dylan Smuts, described in the comments as head of the Chamber of Commerce, and local 4‑H parents to organize future events.
Commissioners did not take immediate formal action during the public‑comment period. The speaker said they were willing to “get involved” and hoped the county and volunteers could create an arrangement that would make the park “something that town would be proud of again.”
The comment was recorded at the start of the meeting and the board then proceeded to routine agenda items.
