Taos parks board outlines SkyFest lineup and youth-sports schedule
Summary
The Taos Parks and Recreation Board approved minutes and detailed SkyFest activities (parade, cornhole tournament, car show, kids area, concessions, bands, fireworks) while the recreation committee confirmed youth tournament dates and fall soccer registration.
President Michelle Gablesberger called the Taos Parks and Recreation Board to order on June 22 and the board approved the prior meeting minutes.
The board recorded a list of SkyFest activities planned for the upcoming event, including a parade, a cornhole tournament, a car show, a kids area, concessions, live bands and fireworks. The minutes list those elements as the core festival programming and do not provide dates or budgets for SkyFest in this record.
The recreation committee reported specific youth-sports scheduling: a 13U tournament set for July 11; a 13U boys event on Sept. 3; and a 12U girls event on Sept. 19. The minutes note that pavilion scheduling is proceeding without issue. Fall soccer registration is scheduled to open in July with play on Sundays in September; the committee discussed possibly needing to buy new nets by next spring.
Why it matters: SkyFest is a major community event that will draw park resources and volunteer support; the confirmed tournament dates and fall registration timetable shape field use through the fall and inform staffing and equipment needs.
The minutes do not record dollar amounts, vendor commitments for SkyFest, or formal motions beyond approval of the minutes. The board did not take new formal votes on SkyFest programming during this meeting; organizers and volunteers will continue planning and staffing work ahead of the event.
