Summary
The committee scheduled a state proclamation event for June 27, 2026, a parade on July 25, 2026 (route pending BOS approval), and a Historic House Tour and Cemetery Tour on Oct. 10, 2026; it listed ticket limits, parking, police details, and a March 1 sponsorship deadline and requested roughly 60 docent shifts across 10 locations.
The Kingston 300th Committee confirmed dates and logistics for several signature events in 2026: a state proclamation event on June 27, the town parade on July 25 and a Historic House Tour/Cemetery Tour with a scavenger hunt on Oct. 10.
Committee members noted that the parade route needs Board of Selectmen approval (target date listed as Feb. 24, 2026). The minutes record that Tricia will add an appointing BOS member to the 300th committee roster. The parade will include confirmed participation by the KPD Honor Guard; the minutes state that the KFD is attempting to secure an honor guard as well (minutes use the abbreviations "KPD" and "KFD").
For the Oct. 10 Historic House Tour, the committee reviewed operational needs: a waiver/release form and a script for the ticket booklet, a planned meeting with Pine Dubois in March, a Bradford House garden cleanup in March, and visiting and vetting of homes. Ticket sales were to be limited to 200; parking and police details are to be arranged. Sponsorship checks were requested to be sent to Tricia with a March 1 deadline. The tour will require docents in roughly 2–4 hour shifts across 10 locations, totaling about 60 volunteer slots.
Olde Home Day was noted with no update. The meeting closed with the chair recording the next meeting date (March 18, 2026) and a motion to adjourn that passed at 6:17 p.m.
