Laurel Dace Days scheduled May 16; Aquarium to lead programming with hike, snorkel and film
Summary
Minutes show Laurel Dace Days on May 16 will be largely run by the Aquarium and include a 5K (shirts for racers), a capped 2-mile hike (10 participants), a capped snorkel (20 participants), transportation support from UT vans, an SCTEC booth, and a May 15 film screening with raffle swag.
Laurel Dace Days, scheduled for May 16, will be primarily handled by the Aquarium, the Spring City Tourism and Events Commission noted at its April 28 meeting.
The minutes list planned activities including T-shirt sales, a 5K race (participants receive shirts), a 2-mile round-trip hike from the Upper Piney trailhead capped at 10 people with a 1:00 p.m. start, and a snorkel activity capped at 20 people with a 1:30 p.m. start. Registration is to be handled through Eventbrite. The minutes also record that the University (listed as 'UT') will provide two 12-passenger vans for site pickup and drop-off.
Additional community engagement planned around Laurel Dace Days includes an SCTEC booth and a one-hour film screening of "Hidden Rivers" at the theater on May 15 at 6:00 p.m. The minutes say TN Riverline and the Aquarium provided swag and raffle items to be used during the film event.
No specific budget line items or permit requirements for these activities were recorded in the minutes; the commission did not take a formal vote on Laurel Dace Days during this meeting.
Further operational details were not specified in the April 28 minutes.
