City seeks vendors and lists donations as July 4 parade preparations continue
Summary
City staff reported parade logistics, vendor recruitment and new donations ahead of the July 4 Sportsplex parade; radio advertising and a banner listing donors are planned once totals are confirmed.
Candice reported on recreation and parade preparations at Monday’s City of Burne Gibbs meeting, asking residents and businesses to apply to be vendors for the July 4 Sportsplex event and noting that the parade starts at 5 p.m. She said gym locks were replaced, the 8-and-under baseball team is going to state in Marianna (typically around the July 4 weekend), and the city will run radio spots on 95.5 in the three days before the event.
Candice announced donations collected for the event, naming a $500 contribution from Wesley Griffin and a $250 contribution from Soneal Industries, plus a donation from 'Dale’s company.' She said donation details will be included in advertisements and on a banner once the city compiles the final list of donors. Vendor applications are available at city hall and the city will assist with distributing them.
The council encouraged residents to attend and to contact city hall for vendor application information; staff indicated they would place vendor solicitations on the city’s Facebook page.
No formal votes related to event funding or contracts were recorded in the transcript.
