PTG proposes Winter Fest at Star Lake; Select Board asks for safety plan
Summary
Mount Holly PTG proposed a community Winter Fest at Star Lake (skating and a sledding hill) for Feb. 20 or 22; the Board asked the PTG to return with detailed safety plans including barriers to Belmont Road.
Andrea Auld presented a proposal on behalf of the Mount Holly PTG for a daytime Winter Fest at Star Lake as a fundraiser, suggesting skating on the lake and a sledding hill on Lake Street. The PTG proposed either Feb. 20 or Feb. 22 as event dates and asked whether the road crew could help with snow management to form the sledding hill.
Board members raised safety concerns and practical questions: Diana Garrow asked about barriers along Belmont Road; several attendees suggested hay bales as an option. Jeff Chase cautioned that creating a sledding hill could be difficult for the highway crew. Chair Mark Turco said the Board has no objection in principle but asked the PTG to return at the next meeting with a specific safety and logistics plan.
