Community Club asks Botkins council for alcohol sales, parade and security for Carousel 2026
Summary
Nicole Combs, representing the Community Club, asked council to permit alcohol sales at Carousel 2026 (June 12–14), to allow use of utility vehicles for setup and teardown, to authorize a Sunday parade and to provide Botkins police officers for event security; council heard the request but no formal permissions are recorded in the minutes.
Nicole Combs of the Community Club attended the Jan. 14 Village of Botkins council meeting to present plans for Carousel 2026, scheduled June 12–14, and to seek council approval for several event elements.
Combs asked the council to allow the sale of alcohol during the event, permit utility vehicles for setup and teardown operations, authorize a parade on the Sunday of Carousel and to provide Botkins police officers to handle security. The Community Club also requested use of municipal resources related to the event. Mayor Lance Symonds and council members discussed the request as part of general comments; the transcript does not record a final vote or formal council approval on those specific requests.
Symonds and staff noted that the Village's South Street project is scheduled for 2026 and will require a new parade route because South Street will be affected by construction; the Community Club and Village will need to coordinate route and logistics if permissions are granted.
