EDC reviews holiday and seasonal programming ideas including solar lights and extended carousel hours
Summary
Amelie Loyot proposed solar-powered holiday lights for gingerbread houses, extending the Flying Horses carousel weekend hours through New Year's, and other seasonal events; Larkin and Amelie will research ice-rink rental options.
Council member Amelie Loyot presented a menu of seasonal programming ideas to boost downtown activity over holidays, including installing solar-powered Christmas lights on gingerbread-house displays, expanding weekend hours for the Flying Horses carousel through New Year's, a 'mayor of Oak Bluffs' fundraising event, scarecrows, a passport program, a snowflake scavenger hunt, and gingerbread cutouts along Circuit Ave.
The council asked Amelie to circulate the updated packet of ideas to the group for consideration by the consultant; Amelie and Larkin Stallings agreed to collaborate on research into a potential ice-skating rink rental. The minutes also show Amelie will contact the Martha's Vineyard Camp Meeting Association and the Vineyard Preservation Trust about logistics and extended hours.
