Walkersville EDC readies Oct. 18 pop-up event; food-truck slots and traffic plans still pending
Summary
The Walkersville EDC confirmed an Oct. 18 pop-up with about 20–25 vendors signed up and discussed food-truck recruitment, porta-potties, trash, and traffic control; town staff and volunteers will assist, and the commission asked staff to coordinate with police for event presence.
The Walkersville Economic Development Commission confirmed planning for an EDC pop-up event on Oct. 18 and discussed vendor counts, food trucks and event logistics.
“The we have our pop up on pen coming up in October on the 18th,” the chair said, outlining the date and asking whether the vendor spreadsheet reflected already-signed participants. Members estimated roughly 20–25 vendors signed up, including the Walkersville Business and Professional Association and the library.
Commissioners discussed food trucks: one member said she has not received any applications for food trucks yet and asked whether Kelly would continue coordinating food-truck outreach. Members said Felicia at the Whistle Stop has helped contact food trucks in prior years and could assist again.
Logistics were addressed: town staff confirmed porta-potties are already arranged and the chair asked Chad to handle traffic control and trash pickup. Members noted the town may rely on volunteer support or police volunteering in past years to provide a presence and direct flows during the event.
The commission also discussed including Operation Lifesaver at the train station and a local farm that might promote a community-supported agriculture (CSA) share (a subscription-style produce delivery) rather than selling loose produce at a vendor table.
Next steps: staff will continue vendor coordination, follow up on food-truck recruitment, and confirm traffic and safety arrangements ahead of the Oct. 18 event.
