Committee finalizes logistics, giveaways for Route 66 Red Carpet Corridor event
Summary
Elwood’s Park and Recreation Committee reviewed vendor lists, promotional giveaways and volunteer signups for the Route 66 Red Carpet Corridor event; members earmarked $900 for event shirts and approved a church request to distribute donut holes during the vendor hours.
The Elwood Park and Recreation Committee reviewed final logistics for the Route 66 Red Carpet Corridor (RCC) event, including vendor confirmations, promotional items and volunteer coordination. Rodgers reported that crafters and tractors are booked and that vendors have begun submitting applications; staff ordered 100 water bottles (with a future QR code plan) and 500 shot glasses to distribute across the three-day schedule (50 on Friday, 300 on Saturday, 150 on Sunday).
Committee members discussed promotion and staffing details: a final official flyer is due April 22 and will be ready for the April water bill distribution; Villalobos said she would draft an outline for the flyer and Rodgers agreed to share tent logistics with Mangun for vinyl sides. Mangun moved to earmark $900 for shirts (to be ordered if RCC does not provide them); Puleo seconded the motion. The transcript records the motion but does not include a roll-call vote tally in the minutes.
The committee also approved a church’s request to hand out donut holes from 8 a.m.–noon in the vendor area. Additional logistics noted included staggered release of giveaway boxes, coordination with Wilmington and Joliet for flyer distribution, and a subcommittee meeting set for April 27 to finalize volunteer assignments.
