Perkins board finalizes daddy–daughter dance logistics, plans survey to set dates for mother’s event and trivia night

Perkins Parks & Recreation members discussed final details for an upcoming daddy–daughter dance and preliminary planning for a Mother’s event and a community trivia night.

Organizers reported that ticket sales for the Feb. 22 daddy–daughter dance "have picked up tremendously this week," and said the event will be split into three time slots with City Hall and the organizer maintaining ticket lists. The group discussed capacity planning (about 130 tickets per slot), snack and dessert options, a simple photo backdrop in place of a photographer and volunteer needs for setup and check-in. Board members noted a potential conflict with a tournament starting the week after the dance and agreed to staff the event accordingly.

For future events, the board considered months for a Mother’s event (May, June, October or November) and discussed a trivia night targeted for late spring or summer (July/August). Members asked that the community survey include a question about preferred months and whether trivia should be adult-only or family-friendly. Scheduling concerns centered on youth sports practices and tournament calendars; the board agreed not to finalize dates until survey results and coaches’ schedules were clearer.

The board assigned outreach duties for ticket and event promotion and said City Hall will keep a list of sales by time slot. No formal vote or budget appropriation for the events was recorded in the transcript.
