Planning an ‘event’ for a weekend between the 4th of July and Labor Day would give us a 4th Holiday weekend during the summer which we could all celebrate as a community and one without pressures for some of us to be elsewhere. Open houses could be held with special discounts by the businesses and tours, by land and water, of the community.

It could be argued that this is not Council’s role, but leadership is and Council or the Mayor can take a leadership role in establishing such an annual event, if nothing more than by proclamation.
