Celebration Committee previews Fall Festival; Select Board okays beer tent pending liquor approval
Summary
The Select Board heard a Memorial Day recap and approved plans for a Fall Festival—including a beer tent to be located in front of Town Hall provided Liquor Commission rules are met—and encouraged volunteer involvement for the August planning meeting.
Mike Kessler, Chair of the Celebration Committee, told the Select Board the Memorial Day 250th Celebration was successful—with a naval launch at Chapman’s Landing, parade, community picnic, Revolutionary War skirmish and pancake breakfast—and that the fireworks were postponed due to weather but rescheduled smoothly.
Kessler outlined plans for a Fall Festival featuring a DJ, food trucks, face painting, games, a beer tent, and other family-friendly activities; the committee is coordinating with NES for a farmers’ market and hopes to partner with NYA, the Library and Friends for added activities. He asked permission to place a beer tent in front of Town Hall; after brief discussion the Board expressed support "contingent upon compliance with all applicable Liquor Commission requirements." The committee plans its next meeting on August 15 at 10:00 a.m. and encouraged volunteers to join planning efforts.
