Selectpersons approve Pumpkin Fest license on 3-2 vote
Summary
The Rumford Board of Selectpersons approved a festival event license for Pumpkin Fest on Oct. 12, 2024, after applicant Kris Howes described plans and said he is forming a 501(c)(3). The permit passed 3-2 following a public hearing.
Selectperson Theriault moved to approve a festival event license for Pumpkin Fest, scheduled for Oct. 12, 2024, and Selectperson Pepin seconded; the motion passed 3-2.
Applicant Kris Howes spoke during the public hearing, telling the board he had provided a letter to the Selectpersons “to review and hopefully make things clear” and that he is “currently working on getting his 501C3.” Those remarks were made before the board voted to grant the license.
The action followed the public hearing portion of the July 18, 2024 meeting of the Town of Rumford Board of Selectpersons at Rumford Falls Auditorium. The transcript shows no additional conditions attached to the approval. The minutes record the vote as 3-2 but do not list which members voted for or against on the record.
The meeting agenda also included a catering-permit addition (item 8B) approved by unanimous consent and several other routine approvals; those matters were handled later in the meeting.
The board adjourned at 7:00 p.m.
