We request the Town Boards approval to be hold this years Community Day as a
Two (2) day event.
We would hold the event on Saturday, September 11th and Sunday, September
12th, with rain days September 18th and 19th
The celebration would begin at 12:00 noon on September 11th and conclude after
the fire works.
The timing of this would allow parents if they wished, to allow their children to
witness the fire works, without the worry of school the next day.
The Sunday schedule would begin at 12:00 noon and end at 8:00pm. Our parade
would be the same as always with a kick off time at 2:00pm.
Our food vendors and the people responsible for the childrens rides, support this
change.
May we please have your approval to proceed and complete our plan.
Sincerely,
W h U, 44u;b/ Yk,
Ralph J. Holt
Recreation Chairman
