American Legion and council approve North Elm Street fair, add Garden of Eden festival programming
Summary
Jacob Svec of the American Legion briefed the Columbiana City Council on the Scribe Fair & Parade logistics and requested use of nearby parking and fee waivers; the council approved the street fair, adding explicit inclusion of Garden of Eden activities.
Jacob Svec, who identified himself as representing the American Legion, outlined plans for the Columbiana Scribe Fair and Parade, including a closure of North Main beginning at noon on Sept. 9 to set up tents and rides and a parade step-off about 6:15 a.m. on Sept. 10 from Firestone Park. He said organizers plan to use nearby parking lots, including a former dealership lot, “for vendor and public parking for the event, at no cost to anybody,” and that entertainment will use the Garden Of Eden stage.
Council members discussed logistics and accessibility for vendors and attendees and asked whether on-site parking would include handicap spaces; Svec said he would follow up with the new property owner and that dealership lots could be used if needed. Council member (speaker 5) moved to approve the event as presented; the motion was amended to explicitly include Garden Of Eden programming and was approved by roll call.
The mayor recorded receipt of the event application and asked for updated insurance before the event. Council and staff said they will coordinate a pre-event meeting with safety forces to plan traffic and staging and to finalize handicap parking arrangements.
