Commission permits Civil War reenactment at City Park with no gun or cannon fire
Summary
The Mason County Historical Society received approval to hold a Civil War reenactment at City Park provided there is no gun or cannon fire and any fire pots comply with burn-ban concerns, per a motion approved by the commission.
Don Grote presented plans for a Civil War reenactment at City Park on behalf of the Mason County Historical Society. After concerns were raised about firearm and cannon noise disturbing horses at a nearby rodeo, Commissioner Annette Thomas read a letter from Jared Whitworth, president of the Rodeo Association, and moved that the reenactment be allowed to proceed as long as no gun or cannon fire will be used and fire pots are consistent with burn-ban restrictions. The motion passed.
The minutes specify the event location (the left side as one enters City Park) and the restriction on gun and cannon fire; no date, insurance, or permit details were recorded in the meeting minutes. The commission’s approval is conditional and leaves operational compliance (noise and burn restrictions) to event organizers and city staff oversight.
