    First Day 2027 and winter event coordination with Recreation Department

    Recreation Director Travis Farley joined the committee to coordinate logistics for the First Day celebration on January 1, 2027. Plans include morning yoga at the Senior Center, family afternoon activities at Woodward School, a 6:00 p.m. drone show, and an immediately following bonfire managed by the Fire Department union. St. Mark's School and Woodward School fields were discussed as leading candidates for drone launching, viewing, and bonfire sites.

    • First Day takes place on January 1, 2027, featuring morning yoga and afternoon family programming.
    • A drone show is slated for 6:00 p.m., followed directly by a town bonfire.
    • St. Mark's School has verbally agreed to host the drone launch site.
    • Woodward School is planned for indoor warming and children's activities before the evening show.
    • Recreation staff will help coordinate event staging and logistics across town facilities.

    Outcome: Committee members will confirm written authorization with St. Mark's School and coordinate bonfire safety spacing with the Fire Department.
