Organizers push schools and volunteers to boost fall festival attendance
Summary
Committee members prioritized recruiting school performers and volunteers to increase family turnout at the fall festival, with staff offering to route official outreach to Miami-Dade County Public Schools via the intergovernmental office.
Organizers emphasized that school performances and family-oriented activities are central to drawing attendance to the fall festival. One organizer argued for committing to school performers, saying, "If a little girl is gonna perform, you know the whole freaking family is gonna show up," and asked committee members Marley and Hector to confirm which schools could provide acts. Members discussed Miami Lakes Middle, MLK and other local schools as potential sources of performers and volunteers.
The committee also agreed to improve volunteer sign-in procedures and role descriptions so volunteers understand shifts and responsibilities; staff offered to post volunteer opportunities on the town website. Committee members volunteered to attend other committee meetings (veterans, youth, education) to promote the festival and seek collaboration and resources.
