Board approves road closures and $750 entertainment contract for Rice's Festival on Sept. 19
Summary
The Frankfort Board of Works approved road closures on Washington Street for Rice's Festival on Sept. 19 and a $750 entertainment contract for folkloric/ballet performers; police and street departments indicated operational support.
The Frankfort Board of Works voted to approve road closures on Washington Street for Rice's Festival on Sept. 19 and authorized a $750 entertainment contract for folkloric and ballet performers.
Emily from the parks department told the board the closure would run "for about the whole day, 9AM to 12:30AM" and that the festival organizers were coordinating with police and street crews. A councilmember moved to approve the road-closure request and the motion passed by roll call.
Emily also presented an entertainment contract for festival performers with a total of $750. The board approved that contract by roll call. The parks department said the event will also include a parade and that the closure will support both the parade and festival activities.
The approvals were procedural: the board recorded aye votes and provided staff direction to finalize the permits and contracts. No public comment was offered on the item at the meeting.
