North Fayette Parks & Recreation Board reviews event plans, approves minutes and adjourns
Summary
At its April 20, 2026 meeting the North Fayette Parks & Recreation Board approved minutes, discussed Community Days logistics (deposits/inflatables/fireworks), noted the West Hills Symphonic Band booking for June 14, 2026, and set planning details for seasonal events before adjourning at 9:05 p.m.
The North Fayette Parks & Recreation Board approved its March minutes, reviewed logistics and deposits for several upcoming community events, and adjourned at 9:05 p.m. during its regular meeting on April 20, 2026.
The meeting, called to order at 6:03 p.m. by Mark Rozum (Chair), included a review of Community Days and related activities. Rozum reported a half deposit had been made for inflatables and that the Bon Journey deposit was paid; the board is awaiting a response from Zambelli about a proposed 10–12 minute fireworks show. Members discussed moving the event tent closer to inflatables and confirmed runner shirts will be red heather; trophies were planned for hot-dog eating contests in men’s, women’s and youth divisions. The board treated these as planning updates rather than formal final approvals.
Parks & Recreation Director Darlene Guzik summarized other scheduling matters. The board discussed the Food & Brew event and a possible extension of hours to 11:00 p.m. if the 5K were run at night. Guzik said Christmas in July signups will list both dates; Rozum said November craft fair forms will be ready May 1. For the Christmas Tree Lighting/Jingle Fest, members discussed a breakfast with Santa or the Grinch, planned activities roughly from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Guzik said she will contact the high school choir; the tree lighting will conclude the day’s events.
Under standing committee reports, Colleen Morris said the new 10–13 age bracket for the Easter Egg Hunt drew 34 participants; she recommended checking the school calendar to avoid conflicts for egg-stuffing, adjusting some age brackets to prevent overlap and bringing back face painters. Guzik reported the Easter Egg event finished under budget.
The board also confirmed programming for summer concerts: Guzik reported that the West Hills Symphonic Band has been booked to perform at the amphitheater on June 14, 2026, a date the minutes note coincides with Flag Day. In new business, Patrick Brindle proposed sponsoring a Community Service Day in 2027 for board consideration.
A motion to accept the March 16, 2026 minutes was made by Lyndsay Davis and seconded by Patrick Brindle; the minutes record the motion as carried. At 9:05 p.m. Brindle moved to adjourn, Davis seconded, and the board voted "all in favor." The minutes do not include roll-call vote tallies for those motions.
Note: the meeting minutes header lists the date as April 20, 2026 but contains a separate line that references April 20, 2025; the minutes otherwise identify this meeting as the April 20, 2026 regular session.
