Lewiston readies July 4 celebration; flyover approved, vendors and volunteers confirmed
Summary
City leaders reported volunteers and about 50 vendor registrations for the July 4 celebration, an enlarged flag display on Center Street, and an approved flyover pending pilots’ finalized plans; staff will confirm rodeo wristbands and event logistics.
Lewiston city leaders discussed logistics for the July 4 celebration during the June 16 meeting, reporting substantial volunteer support and vendor interest.
Mayor F. Bodily said volunteers are still needed for outreach to donors and noted that Landon Hansen has tripled the size of his flag for display on Center Street behind the stage. The council said a flyover has been approved by relevant authorities, though volunteer pilots have not yet finalized a flight plan. The council played an advertisement that will run on the radio to promote the event.
Councilmember Trexler said volunteers are in place for event staffing and estimated roughly 50 vendors have registered for the park. Councilmember Simper asked staff to check inventory of rodeo wristbands. Arrangements for a convertible for Grand Marshals were reported, trucks have been secured from West Motor, and Evan Hall will serve as event announcer.
The June 16 meeting recorded these items as event updates; no formal council action was taken on the celebration details at that meeting.
