Discussion/Recommendation – Fall Festival Director Frates gave a brief update on the upcoming Fall Pumpkin Festival including activity ideas, vendors and possible layout. Frates noted there were a couple possible dates to consider including October 9th and October 16th. Some discussion centered around the two possible dates with Saturday, October 16th being the preferred date since it was closer to Halloween. Chair Gabriel recommended contacting the Kenai Economic Development District for possible leads on sponsors, other ideas included contacting Brown Bears Hockey Organization for volunteer assistance, warming fire, square dancing, cake walk, and sack races. Layout of vendor trucks were briefly discussed and Frates reported he’d discuss internally and see if there’s a better location or not, possibly at the south end. 7. REPORTS a.

Frates, Parks & Recreation Director DATE: October 5, 2021 SUBJECT: Fall Pumpkin Festival Purpose of this correspondence is to inform you that the Fall Pumpkin Festival planning is coming along nicely. The department’s administrative assistant, Tyler Best, will be in attendance at our October 12 meeting to share with you some of the particulars we have been working on. Tyler has been working on updating the event layout. Currently, we have three food truck vendors interested in setting up. There was some concern expressed at our last meeting about setting the vendors up along Spur View Drive. We are hoping to place vendors there again but have a plan in place that should eliminate any concerns with traffic.
