Organizer urges one-day format, more partnerships for Patriotic in the Park festival
Summary
Tim Sanchez, organizer of the Patriotic in the Park 4th of July Festival, told the council the event succeeded and asked for stronger city and business partnerships, more volunteers and consolidated attractions into a single one-day festival to simplify logistics.
During the public-comment period, Tim Sanchez thanked volunteers and local radio station Hank FM for support organizing the Patriotic in the Park 4th of July Festival and Night Glow Parade. Sanchez proposed consolidating children's activities, water slides, the car show, and live music into a single one-day festival to streamline planning, reduce duplication, and attract broader participation.
Mayor Mike Odman and Councilor John Lyon responded positively, offering assistance with the car show and encouraging more advertising and volunteer recruitment. Sanchez said he was pleasantly surprised by turnout for the night parade and emphasized the need for additional volunteers and promotion if the event grows.
