Selectboard picks Sumner Memorial Park for Family Fall Festival, approves park cleanup and Sullivan Daze fundraising letter
Summary
The Selectboard approved holding a Family Fall Festival at Sumner Memorial Park (excluding apple-bobbing), authorized park cleanup work, and voted to mail a revised fundraising letter for Sullivan Daze after board edits.
The Sullivan Selectboard approved plans for the town’s Family Fall Festival at Sumner Memorial Park, voting 2–0 to accept the proposal without an apple-bobbing activity. Town Clerk Yvette Grindle presented the event proposal and the board discussed event offerings and locations before voting.
The board also approved a cleanup effort at Sumner Memorial Park that may include installing a gravel pad and removing trees; Selectman Erin Shanahan moved the cleanup motion and it passed 2–0. During Old Business, the board reviewed a financial summary for Sullivan Daze showing Parks & Rec proceeds of $437.00 and Fire Rescue proceeds of $7,969.79 after expenses. The Selectboard voted to send a revised solicitation letter asking companies that typically do not donate to support the raffle table; Erin Shanahan said she wanted to make revisions to the draft before it was mailed.
These decisions authorize immediate park maintenance planning and a targeted fundraising outreach; the transcript records no further scheduling or budget specifics for the festival.
