Local nonprofit proposes community family fun day at Watson Park
Summary
Olivia Brown of Empower Together asked the Johnston Town Council to consider a family fun day on July 19, 2025, 3–9 p.m., at Watson Park featuring live entertainment, games and free food; the council recorded the proposal during public comment with no vote taken.
Ms. Olivia Brown, representing Empower Together, asked the council during the public comment period to approve a community family fun day at Watson Park on July 19, 2025, from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. She outlined planned activities including live entertainment, field-day style games and a free food giveaway.
Mayor Holmes opened and then closed public comments as recorded in the minutes; there is no record of formal council action, scheduling decisions, permitting conditions, or funding commitments in the minutes from the April 14 meeting. The minutes do not state whether the event requires permits or town services (police, public works, or sanitation), nor do they record a staff assignment to follow up.
Organizers seeking Council support or town services should coordinate with the municipal clerk and town administrator so permits, park scheduling and any requested services can be confirmed.
