Summary
Longswamp Township’s Parks and Recreation Commission on June 17, 2025 reviewed plans for seasonal events including a Great Pumpkin Hunt, Christmas Tree Lighting and a June 2026 Swamp Fest, recorded a motion to bring back bands for Swamp Fest and a motion to postpone expense approvals to the July 15 meeting.
The Longswamp Township Parks and Recreation Commission met on June 17, 2025 and reviewed planning for community events through mid‑2026, recording motions related to Swamp Fest and documenting a schedule of upcoming activities.
The meeting opened at 8:05 p.m. with attendance recorded as Tyrene, Leann, Allison, Kaitey, Kristina, Jeremy and Mike (B.O.S.). Under “Supervisor Report,” the commission noted a planned fishing event at Hunsicker's Grove. Youth sports reports for BYBA, BGSL and soccer were recorded as none.
Commissioners spent the bulk of the meeting on event planning. They discussed the Great Pumpkin Hunt scheduled for Oct. 4, 2025 and noted the need to begin ordering pumpkins. Ideas were shared for the Christmas Tree Lighting scheduled for Dec. 6, 2025 and for the Egg Hunt on March 28, 2026, but no specific budget or vendor commitments are recorded in the minutes.
The commission discussed Swamp Fest, scheduled for June 13, 2026, including potential bands and an expressed need for more volunteers. The minutes record a motion "to have the bands back for 2026 Swampfest" (mover: Kristina; seconder: Kaitey). The minutes further record a motion to postpone post‑approval of expenses to the July 15, 2025 meeting (mover: Kristina; seconder: Kaitey). The minutes do not provide vote tallies or explicit outcomes for those motions in the June 17 text; the record notes the motion language and the named movers and seconders.
A motion to approve the meeting minutes was made (1st Jeremy, 2nd Kristina). The document header indicates the June 17 minutes were approved on July 15, 2025.
Old business and new business were recorded as none. A motion to adjourn (1st Kristina, 2nd Jeremy) preceded adjournment at 9:10 p.m. The minutes were submitted by Kristina DiGiampaolo, Secretary. The commission scheduled its next meeting for July 15, 2025.
The June 17 minutes record planning steps and motions but contain limited detail on budgets, vendor commitments and vote tallies; the July 15, 2025 meeting record is the documented approval date for these minutes and may contain follow‑up actions.
