EDC member proposes 'Frost to Flowers' community event for March 21
Summary
Jess Langston of the EDC and owner of Enchanted Blooms proposed a March 21 family event, 'FROST TO FLOWERS,' to attract visitors to Deep River; the town will contribute some funding and organizers seek volunteers and donations.
Jess Langston, a member of the EDC and owner of Enchanted Blooms, presented a plan for a townwide event called "FROST TO FLOWERS" that organizers have proposed for March 21 to make Deep River a destination.
Langston said the EDC "initiative for this event is to make DR a destination town," and outlined a family-oriented program that could include a face painter, Garden Club bulb sales, involvement from DRPL, a possible Deep River Historical Society tour, flower crowns, bubble/blower attractions, candle making, local vendors, food vendors, music, yoga and a scavenger hunt. She told the Sustainable Deep River committee that the town will contribute some money to support the event and that donations and volunteers are welcome.
Committee members welcomed the proposal but did not commit to specific roles. Chair Sara Connor reviewed the committee's calendar and encouraged members to consider where Sustainable Deep River could support the event. The committee amended the agenda at the start of the meeting to allow Langston's presentation to proceed.
Next steps recorded in the meeting minutes include continued planning by the EDC and follow-up from committee members about how Sustainable Deep River can participate and volunteer. Organizers are still finalizing details and a formal schedule and volunteer sign-up were not specified in the minutes.
