Tusayan schedules community gathering with drone 'Stellar' show; council to finalize theme
Summary
Councilors discussed a Sept. 26 community gathering that will include a make-up drone show and directed staff to finalize a theme (a 'Stellar' show or a modified Cinco de Mayo show without holiday references). Town staff said shows must be canned and budgeted at last year's levels.
Council members discussed upcoming astronomy events and a community gathering planned for Sept. 26 that will include a make‑up drone show.
Town Manager Hendrix said the drone‑show vendor requested council feedback on the desired show and the town must choose soon because of scheduling and budget constraints. Options presented included the "Stellar Drone Show" or a modified Cinco de Mayo program without holiday references. The council directed Vice Mayor Greg Brush and Town Manager Hendrix to develop a theme and come back with recommendations.
Hendrix noted the shows must be canned (preprogrammed) and that the budget for drone shows this year matches last year's allocation. Mayor Clarinda Vail suggested exploring simulated fireworks for the next Fourth of July event.
No formal vote was taken; the council gave staff direction to finalize the show's theme and confirm logistics and budget.
