Princeton community events such as Freedom & Fireworks and Pumpkin BooLooza, continue to grow in popularity and thus require more effort to stage, Parks & Recreation Director Chase Bryant says.

Bryant updated council at the Monday, July 13, meeting that also included approval of a new ambulance service agreement, consideration of a non-resident library card fee and discussion of where the city’s legal notices should be posted.

The Parks & Rec director said the city now holds four large-scale annual events and numerous pop-up activities designed to enhance quality of life and community engagement. And he said the major events have grown into citywide operations requiring extensive coordination among Parks & Recreation, Police, Fire, Public Works and other departments.
