Recreation Committee plans Community Day May 16 and Pumpkin Festival Oct. 3, approves $2 seed-packet fundraiser
Summary
Committee members planned Community Day for May 16 and Pumpkin Festival for Oct. 3; they agreed to sell pumpkin-seed packets for $2 and are pursuing animal- and nature-based programming through outreach to Maine Audubon, Maine Wildlife Park and a hawk-watch volunteer.
The Pownal Recreation Committee used part of its March 18 meeting to plan spring and fall community events, agreeing to sell pumpkin-seed packets for $2 at Community Day on May 16 and to continue preparations for a Pumpkin Festival on Oct. 3, according to the minutes.
Committee members described silent-auction basket themes under development: an art/relaxation basket, a "work" bucket, and a baby sweater. Members also discussed outreach for an animal- or nature-based program and identified Maine Audubon, Maine Wildlife Park and a hawk-watch volunteer associated with Bradbury as potential contacts.
The minutes record that Kathy Hogue will distribute pumpkin seeds and that the committee agreed to price the small seed packets at $2 to raise funds for festival activities. No budget totals or formal fundraising targets were recorded in the minutes.
The minutes present these items as planning actions; no formal motions or votes were recorded on the seed-packet sale or the festival programming during this meeting. The committee's next steps include continued outreach to the named organizations and ongoing basket development for the silent auction.
