APPENDIX B-7: OPEN SPACE & RECREATION FAIR I AND II
After the initial Community Forum at the Junior High School, the Task Force organized
two Open Space & Recreation Fairs and the Old High School on McKeen Street.
Approximately 100 people attended each fair.
The first fair was held on March 27, 2001, a postponement from the planned date of
March 22 due to weather. It featured display booths representing each of the ten
subcommittees as well as a booth from the Service Learning class. The groups presented
their work-in-progress and solicited comment from the participants in an informal,
interactive manner. After an initial brief overview, visitors were invited to stop by at each
booth and provide comment on what they saw. At the end of the meeting booth
representatives gave brief synopses of the feedback they received. Feedback forms were
provided for comment.
The second fair was held on May 2, 2002 and included the presentation of the draft plan
as well as a roll-out of all ten subcommittee reports. Participants were invited to visit
each of the booths, look at maps, pick up copies of the subcommittee reports of their
interest. Feedback forms were provided for comment.
Both fairs were announced in full page newspaper inserts in the Times Record.
Community cable TV recorded and broadcast portions of these events.
