Veterans Commission - Regular Meeting

Independence Day celebration date is planned for Saturday June 27, 2026. Gaelic Park has one wedding booked for that night.

Gaelic Park will be the location for this event again.

Involvement of PD and FD is happening.

City Administrator Moses has been scheduling meetings for PD, FD, Veterans Commission and EMA. And basically, anyone that may be involved in the planning of IDC.

Mad Bombers has been contacted by Moses our City Administrator and Mad Bomber are on board for Saturday June 27.

Starting time of first entertainer Joe starts at 6:00 PM, and the main band Free Byrd starts at 8:00 PM.

Same entertainment is planned for this year. Free Byrd would like a bigger stage to set up on. Joe will ask Michael Bennett to see if this is possible.

Trucking for Veterans will return this year.

They might move to another location. Was not happy when James Hanlon made this happen.

We decided to invite 5 food vendors.

Ken Keeler has closed his pizza business in Midlothian this past week we may need another pizza vendor. We do need to ask Ken if he wants to participate. BoFill's BBQ, Joey's Hot Dog, Kona Ice have been confirmed. Need to confirm with Jack Frost and Ken Keeler. Emerald Coffee may not be attending because most people wanted alcohol not coffee.

All vendors need to be emailed the correct starting time of event and time they may set up.

All vendors need to be listed on flyers. All vendors will need to complete a liability form. CA Moses to provide one to us.

We need to coordinate with Gaelic Park any changes they need to make, and we need to make sure it is a smooth operation.

Could Gaelic Park give Veterans Commission members dinner coupons?
