Pine Mountain approves Boy Scout spaghetti dinner, race parking and spring festival road closure
Summary
Council approved use of the AD Davis facilities for Boy Scout Troop 40’s spaghetti dinner, permitted parking for a Sept. 19 marathon and authorized closing Commerce Avenue and other streets for the April Spring Festival.
The Pine Mountain Mayor and Council approved multiple event permits and street use requests at its Feb. 9 meeting, including a Boy Scout Troop 40 spaghetti dinner, parking for a race tied to town events, and a Spring Festival street closure in April.
John Willis requested the AD Davis Gymnasium for the Boy Scout annual spaghetti dinner on Feb. 28; Councilmember Mabry moved to grant the request, Mr. Trott seconded, and Councilmembers Bray, Scott and Pound voted in favor. Mr. Scott noted the dinner will be the troop’s 53rd annual spaghetti dinner.
Joanne Cogle, representing TriColumbus, asked to use the AD Davis ballfield for parking during a marathon on Sept. 19 to encourage visitors to Pine Mountain. She said TriColumbus has held races at Callaway Gardens for more than a decade and typically brings over 200 riders; the organizers expect about 75 cars to park at the ballfield for the event. Chief Ferrone asked whether overnight camping would occur and was told there would be none. The council approved the request and indicated interest in making it an annual arrangement.
Gloria Boyer requested closure of Commerce Avenue through Broad Street and North McDougald Avenue (from the flagpole to the Wells Fargo drive‑through) from 4:00 P.M. April 10 through 4:30 P.M. April 11 for the Spring Festival. Mayor Mullins asked organizers to place tents to avoid blocking merchants’ storefronts. Mr. Pound moved approval; Mr. Bray seconded and the council voted in favor.
These approvals were recorded as motions and votes in the council minutes; details such as insurance, security, or required permits beyond council permission were not specified in the transcript.
