Council approves Kids Day parade and street closures after organizer’s presentation
Summary
Emily Garden of Boyfor Family Meals requested the usual street closure and parade permit for Kids Day/4th of July activities; council members praised the event, thanked sponsors and approved the parade and street closure permits by roll call.
Council members approved a street-closure and parade permit for the city’s Kids Day/4th of July celebration after a presentation from Emily Garden, who identified herself as public relations and employee engagement supervisor with Boyfor Family Meals.
Garden described planned attractions — including foam activities and extended hours for train car rides — and said the organizers had notified nearby residents. “We are really excited this year. We’re doing something a little bit different… we’re throwing a massive foam dance party in the street,” Garden said.
Council members thanked organizers and noted community support and a longstanding sponsor, Foley Auto, which donates for a stage show. A roll-call vote approved the parade permit and related street closures.
What happens next: The permit will enable the Kids Day parade and associated street closures; staff will follow up on logistics and coordinate with public-safety officers for event security.
