Committee presses inflatables vendor on safety after observing festival setups
Summary
After a review of comparable events, field operations urged the inflatables vendor to send quieter generator setups and to place generators behind inflatables; committee members asked for written safety commitments and certificates of insurance before the event.
Field operations members reported back from a recent festival and said they were impressed by the inflatables vendor's attention to safety and generator placement; they recommended a similar configuration at Old Home Day.
One field lead said the vendor had organized generators so noise and fumes were pushed behind the inflatables and that on busy days one generator often served multiple units. "The noisiest part was, the, jams that blow up the, the inflatables," a committee member observed after the comparison visit, and the group asked the vendor to commit to quieter placement and to run generators behind the play areas.
Committee members also requested the vendor's insurance certificate and explicit assurances on staffing; they agreed to require the vendor to provide a written operations list covering number of inflatables, generator counts, and a plan for noise mitigation prior to setup day.
