Committee tables Music in the Park, plans movie night and discusses Veterans Day partnership with VFW
Summary
Committee members said Music in the Park is being deferred for 2026 and discussed replacing it with a low-cost movie night; they also discussed planning a Veterans Day ceremony on Nov. 11 in partnership with the VFW at the MEESB building.
Committee members concluded that Music in the Park is not feasible this year because of park availability and conflicts with baseball schedules, and they discussed replacing it with a movie night to generate revenue primarily through food trucks.
A representative noted a screen and projector rental fee of $150 and said movies would be purchased on DVD so the screening could be shown without admission and with licensing covered. The committee discussed opening the concession stand for hot food during movie night while relying on food trucks for the majority of event revenue.
Members also discussed plans for a Veterans Day event on Nov. 11 at 11:00 a.m. at the MEESB building in partnership with the VFW. Committee members said they would aim for keynote speakers and increased brick sales tied to the memorial; budget and final details will be determined at a future meeting.
Several members proposed inviting representatives from the warehouse (who have run successful outdoor movie nights in other communities) and from the VFW to brief the committee at a future meeting to refine logistics and timing.
