Shabbona volunteers finalize July 4 festival logistics, from parade order to DJ schedule
Summary
Local festival organizers confirmed parade order, vendor placement, DJ hours and volunteer assignments while identifying gaps in emergency planning and supplies ahead of the July 4 event.
Local volunteers and the festival planning committee met at the village hall and settled core logistics for the July 4 celebration, including the parade lineup, vendor placement and entertainment schedule. Chair (identified in the transcript as the meeting facilitator) led the discussion and confirmed the freight/parade vehicles will begin lining up around midmorning: "The freight will start lining up about 11." (Chair)
Staff reported seven vendors registered so far and recommended consolidating vendor spaces near the DJ to make better use of limited footprint; committee members also agreed the DJ would cover the karaoke and run from roughly 10:30 to 04:30 to cover main event hours. Members reviewed volunteer roles and signage distribution, and assigned follow-up tasks to confirm vendor times and ensure no-parking signs are posted.
