Commission sets Lufkin concert series for June 2 and July 7 with midday and evening performances
Loading...
Summary
The commission selected June 2 (midday) and July 7 (evening, with July 7 held as a rain date option) and times of 12:00–1:30 p.m. and 6:00–7:30 p.m. for the inaugural Lufkin concert series; staff will add the dates to the permit and seek volunteer and fund-commission support.
The Special Recreation Commission voted March 10 to list two dates and times on the permit for the Lufkin concert series and to forward the recommendation to the board.
The chair proposed holding two concerts: a midday performance on Tuesday, June 2 from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. with an open mic to encourage youth participation, and an evening performance on Tuesday, July 7 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. with July 7 also proposed as a rain date. Commissioners discussed proximity to July 4 but agreed the schedule should work and noted the need for volunteers and coordination with the fund commission’s subcommittee.
Commission members emphasized outreach to unincorporated Villa Park residents and the importance of sending dates to commissioners ahead of meetings to avoid being placed on the spot for availability. The motion to list the two dates and times on the permit was made, seconded and approved by roll call; staff will complete the permit and coordinate volunteers and fund-commission support as needed.
Next steps: staff will submit permit applications with the selected dates/times, confirm volunteer support and work with the fund commission’s subcommittee if additional assistance is needed.
