Organizers preview Perks Crossing festival schedule, ask for volunteers and public-safety support
Summary
Perks Crossing Committee members told the council about a multi-day community festival in June with a fish fry, bands, parades, a 5K and a new motorcycle ride; organizers requested help from the fire department, EMS and police and asked residents to volunteer.
Perks Crossing organizers presented tentative plans for a June festival and asked the council and community for logistical support.
A committee representative said the festival will open Thursday with a fire-department fish fry, include bands Friday and Saturday, a 5K Saturday morning and parades at noon, and conclude Sunday with a community church service. The committee plans a first-time countywide motorcycle ride after the church service and is coordinating with the sheriff's office for routing and safety.
Organizers said many events are still tentative pending vendor confirmations and asked for help from the fire department, EMS and police for public-safety coverage. They also invited volunteers to assist with set-up and posted a contact email for those who want to help. Council members asked clarifying questions about site layout and scheduling; organizers said the walking track will remain available for spectators to approach mobile features and seating.
No formal council action was required; organizers indicated a desire to finalize schedules and vendor lists in the coming days.
