Event subcommittee reports 2,100 attend Fish & Fun; plans a consolidated Oct. 10 Fall Festival
Summary
The events subcommittee reported roughly 2,100 attendees at Fish & Fun (per Blazer AI software), discussed reinstating fish-cleaning options and vendor performance, and proposed consolidating Halloween activities into a single Fall Festival on Oct. 10 with shuttle service and volunteer recruitment.
The events subcommittee told the board that Fish & Fun remained well attended and discussed planning details for a new Fall Festival concept that would consolidate Halloween-in-the-park activities into a single Oct. 10 event.
"It had 2,100 attendees based on the Blazer AI software," a subcommittee member said, reporting attendance and flagging community feedback such as missing fish-weighing contests. Subcommittee members said VIP cabanas sold out quickly, food vendors performed well, and organizers are considering fish-cleaning stations and a bike-valet idea for future events.
The proposed Fall Festival would begin with a morning 5K and family activities and move into separate daytime 'lighter' haunted-house-style options for children before more traditional evening programming. The subcommittee discussed shuttles for large events (Fourth of July and the fall festival) to address parking and safety concerns and noted volunteer sign-ups and firefighter passes for residents.
Next steps: The subcommittee will continue refining the plan, address communication strategies so residents know what changes to expect, and provide volunteer lists to staff.
