Resident proposes pumpkin-hurling contest for Nov. 7, 2026 at mill site and Portal Park
Summary
Oakridge resident Viki Sprague asked the council to permit a pumpkin hurling contest at the mill site and Portal Park on Nov. 7, 2026; she provided owner permission for the mill site and event materials, and the council requested a Portal Park rental application before final approval.
Oakridge resident Viki Sprague addressed the council in person to propose a pumpkin-hurling contest at the mill site and at Portal Park on November 7, 2026. She gave the council a packet containing an event description, permission from the mill site owners to use the site, rules from a similar event in Florida, and a map showing the projected path of projectiles.
The council expressed general support for the idea but did not authorize the event on the spot. City Recorder Nicole Tritten said she would email the Portal Park rental application to Ms. Sprague; the minutes record that formal approval would require submission and review of that application before the council could vote to permit the event.
The proposal includes a hazardous-activity element (projectiles); the minutes do not record details on insurance, safety plans, or crowd control; those items would reasonably be required during the permit review.
