The Parks & Recreation committee confirmed plans for a Skate Jam on June 21 to raise funds and showcase the town's planned skatepark. Committee members said they will seek bottled-water and shade-tent donations, and will sell Parks & Rec merchandise at the event to support fundraising and branding.
Committee members reported that Downeast Mexican will serve as a food vendor and that two California companies are sending equipment, some of which will be used as raffle prizes. Nor'Easter skate parks is working on a concept design for the skatepark; committee members discussed using the June 21 event to highlight that work and attract donors.
The committee also assigned table coverage for June 14—Bill and Kim Procko volunteered to staff a table at the Schoodic Byway Committee's 25th-anniversary event at the Rec Center—to promote the skatepark and sell merchandise. Members reviewed existing inventory, noting tote bags and a stock of Sullivan Daze 2024 t-shirts, and discussed re-pricing and adding a second design while retaining the singing bridge artwork.
The committee requested volunteers and in-kind donations to support the Skate Jam logistics. No formal motions or votes were recorded on the item; the committee expects to finalize event logistics in subsequent meetings.
