Parks & Recreation — 2022-08-23

This Park Advisory Board work session (August 23, 2022, via Zoom) focused entirely on planning the Wharf Day celebration. Town Council approved an event date listed in the minutes as "Saturday, September 70, 2022," with an event time of 4 to 8 PM to include a fishing derby, ribbon cutting, and movie night; the board noted they must confirm availability of the movie screen and projector (minutes also reference September 10th) and enlist Corsica River Conservancy help for the fishing derby. The board assigned tasks: Norma Robinson to check past attendance, contact the Town Clerk/Tim McCluskey, confirm QAC Parks & Recreation equipment availability, invite Madelyn Harrison, and contact Commerce Street Creamery owners; Sandy Simpson to coordinate fishing derby details with Tim McCluskey and contact Corsica River Conservancy; Chair Mike Whitehill to recruit a hotdog vendor and arrange publicity; Priscilla Mileski to arrange bottled water/coolers and glow sticks. A follow-up email was to be sent by Thursday to confirm QAC and Corsica River Conservancy availability, and they noted checking whether Council Liaison Shelby Anania or another council member can attend the ribbon cutting. The meeting adjourned at 5:35 PM.
