Arts Commission unveils 'Fright the Park' Halloween program with awards on Oct. 24
Summary
Commissioners reviewed and approved a promotional blurb for a new Halloween program called Fright the Park that will invite residents to decorate for prizes, with awards planned for Saturday, Oct. 24.
Amy Lloyd presented a draft blurb for a new Halloween program called Fright the Park, a seasonal counterpart to the city's Light the Park tradition that will invite residents to decorate homes for prize consideration.
Lloyd said the program is presented by the Normandy Park Arts Commission and noted commissioners would select award winners to receive a yard sign. "This Halloween season, residents are invited to decorate their homes with frightfully fun displays," Lloyd read aloud from the draft blurb.
Commissioners reacted positively to the concept and discussed logistics including whether the police department might participate in a parade or cruise; staff flagged possible regulations about prizes and will confirm whether signs or awards are nominal before finalizing the program text and promotions.
No budget for prizes was approved during the meeting; the commission agreed to proceed with the draft blurb for the City Scene magazine and to revisit prize logistics as needed.
