Greenwood staff set Oct. 17 date for fall festival as park board readies volunteers
Summary
City staff and aldermen picked Saturday, Oct. 17 for Greenwood’s fall festival, discussed programming (vendors, musicians, haunted hayride, family activities) and asked the newly forming parks board to help with volunteer staffing and outreach.
City staff told the Board of Aldermen on July 8 they plan to hold the Greenwood Fall Festival on Saturday, Oct. 17. Staff said they will coordinate date selection to avoid conflicts with neighboring towns, begin vendor outreach, and work with the parks board as it becomes staffed and organized.
Ideas discussed included daytime family attractions (petting animals, teacup pigs), a haunted hayride and a nighttime music performance; staff named potential entertainers and noted volunteer and vendor interest from the summer FreedomFest event. Staff and aldermen agreed to continue planning and to hold a follow-up work session to discuss location, seating capacity, design and logistics.
