Board set Easter egg hunt for March 28, 2026 (4 p.m.) with vendor fees ($25/table, $50/food truck), changed Memorial Day to May 25, 2026, reserved Santa for Dec. 5, 2026, and approved a Pyro Show fireworks contract for June 26, 2026 (transcript records $24,001.40).
The Haslet Parks and Recreation Board set dates and logistics for several major community events during its Jan. 14 meeting.
The board scheduled the Easter egg hunt for March 28, 2026 at 4 p.m., keeping four age divisions (2 and under; 3–5; 6–9; 10–12). The board agreed to a vendor fee policy for events if vendors request space: $25 per table and $50 per food truck. The motion to set the date and vendor-fee option passed with a second.
The board also moved to correct the Memorial Day celebration date to May 25, 2026 and approved reserving Santa for the Christmas in the Park event on Dec. 5, 2026 for $725.
On Independence Day planning, staff presented price quotes and recommended locking in a date. The board set June 26, 2026 for the Independence Day event and voted to contract Pyro Show for the fireworks. The transcript records a motion approving the Pyro Show contract for approximately $24,001.40; the board approved the contract and the date. Staff noted the $24,000–$24,001 figure was intended to secure a larger show and leave room for options.
Board members said logistics such as staging, microphone/podium needs, vendor coordination and staffing will be addressed in future agenda items and planning sessions. Public Works offered to help confirm technical details and staffing availability for event days.
Next steps: staff will finalize contracts, confirm vendor arrangements, and return to the board with more detailed operational plans and cost confirmations for each event.
