Board OKs small ceremonies at Overlook Eagles Bluff with conditions
Summary
Perry County parks board said small wedding ceremonies may take place at Overlook Eagles Bluff if organizers limit activities to the ceremony (no reception or alcohol), clean the site, and notify Hamilton police and the sheriff’s office; staff will assist with pre-event cleanup.
Perry County parks officials agreed that the Overlook Eagles Bluff may be used for small wedding ceremonies so long as organizers follow conditions to limit impact on the site and public safety.
At the meeting a staff member presented a prospective reservation and board members said they had no objection to ceremonies so long as no reception or alcohol is held on site and event organizers clean up afterward. Members suggested notifying Hamilton police and the county sheriff’s office in advance so officers are aware if additional traffic or parking control is warranted.
Board members also noted minor maintenance tasks ahead of any ceremony: staff reported cleaning the overlook windows and checking trash cans, and a board member praised the work done to prepare the site. Members said they would confirm a date with the requester and monitor traffic or safety concerns if a ceremony is scheduled.
Next steps: staff will coordinate with the event organizer on a date and notify local law enforcement as appropriate. The board did not change formal permitting rules at the meeting.
