Council satisfied with July 4 celebrations
By SEÁN O'DONOGHUE
Managing Editor
HAMLIN - Members of Hamlin Town Council and the community last week expressed broad satisfaction with the town's Old Fashioned Fourth of July celebration. The council met in regular session, Monday evening, July 7. Planning for the July 2009 celebrations was also expected to get underway soon.
Mayor Brian Barrett said that all things had gone okay on the Fourth, apart from the occasional rain. He did mention the issue of pulling funds from three or four different places for the celebrations and suggested that the town would need to establish a new account specifically for the Fourth of July. This, he said, would allow the donations for the celebrations to come in to the town. He alluded to the situation where different organizations were paying for various artists and the confusion at time as to who was paying for what.
With regard to next year's celebration, Barrett said that the organizers of the events would probably take a month off, but would then begin preparations for the July 2009 events. He made special mention of the work of the Hamlin Woman's Club and the large number of organizations and individuals who took part in the planning process this year. Later, on a motion by Chris Wilkinson and a second by Danny McKay, members voted 5-0 to establish a new account for future Fourth of July funding efforts.
In public comments during the meeting, Nona Conley, who was involved with the four day celebration at the Lincoln County Memorial Fairgrounds, said that there had been a lot of positive comments at the new Route 3 facility about the town's parade.
Mayor Barrett expressed satisfaction with the turnout at the parade, especially given the occasionally inclement weather.
Video of the parade and the town's firework's display is available for viewing at www.lincolnjournal.com in our archived stories section. You can also view the videos at www.myspace.com/lincolnjournal.
