Shriners drop Suds & Songs sponsorship; borough to survey Fairmount Park uses
Summary
Parks & Rec reported the Shriners will no longer sponsor Suds & Songs; organizers will present the event to the Masons and Parks staff will run a Google survey to determine park planning and programming priorities.
Parks and Recreation members reported that the Shriners have informed the borough they will not continue sponsoring Suds & Songs because they are "aging and dying down," and Kelly Henshaw will present the matter to the Masons for consideration. Parks staff said they will pursue alternative sponsors and outreach.
Becky Gibney said she will complete a targeted Google survey focused on Fairmount Park to collect community input on future park uses. Mr. Heister suggested the borough explore a meadow at the trail switchback with guidance from the Chesapeake Bay alliance; the minutes note that similar work has succeeded in nearby Jackson Township.
