Commission says Juneteenth planning 'on track' as vendors, t-shirts and promotions are finalized

Commission members reported that planning for the city's Juneteenth celebration is progressing and that key vendor and sponsorship pieces are in place. "So everything is on target. We're on track, with everything for Juneteenth," a committee member said, noting food vendors have been locked in, retail vendors are still registering and a T-shirt invoice is pending.

Members asked colleagues to push outreach—sharing flyers and social posts—and to complete a promotional video shoot planned for the week ahead. Staff were asked to confirm bounce-house insurance and vendor permits; the Kiwanis chapter requested a non-selling informational table at the event and organizers agreed to coordinate that through city staff (Molly). Action items identified: a final vendor push, t-shirt order completion, and coordination of the video shoot and Kiwanis tabling.
