EDC and fire department plan expanded July 4 weekend and revive Rotan Days
Summary
Economic Development Committee and fire department outlined plans for a larger July 4th weekend (vendors, parade, 5K, golf, fireworks) as part of a 250th celebration; organizers also discussed bringing back an annual Rotan Days summer event.
Administrative reports included plans to expand the July 4th weekend into a multi-day celebration tied to the town's 250th, with vendor booths, a car show, parade, bounce houses, a hospital-sponsored 5K, a golf tournament and fireworks. The EDC is coordinating with local businesses and volunteers for events beginning July 3 and the hospital will sponsor a 5K on Saturday morning.
Council and EDC members also said they would consider reviving Rotan Days as an annual summer celebration with input from volunteers and community groups: "the fire department and the EDC are going to try to see about bringing back Rotan Days and and having a celebration sometime during the summer every year again." Organizers invited community input and asked interested residents to contact George or other EDC representatives to help plan activities. No council ordinance or budget appropriation was finalized at the meeting.
