PERRYVILLE – Perryville’s delayed Fourth of July fireworks display may be held Sept. 3rd.
The board of aldermen will consider at Tuesday’s regular meeting, approving a request from the Rotary Club of Perryville to hold the fireworks display at Perryville City Park Sunday, September 3, 2023.
Along with their annual fireworks display, the Rotary Club has requested permission to invite Luna Ice to sell their wares to youth and family in the park during the festivities.
A related request on the agenda for Tuesday’s meeting is approval of a request from Parks and Recreation Director Cadwell to close the Perry Park Center at 5 p.m. September 3rd for the fireworks display.
Staff has traditionally requested permission to close the park center early for the fireworks display and would suggest doing so again this year.
In other business at Tuesday’s meeting:
The city will be looking for a new place to hold the Mayfest Carnival. American Legion Commander Brian Brickhaus has sent the city a written notice advising that, after 30-plus years, they were no longer interested in hosting the Mayfest carnival.
The city staff wants to discuss this matter with the board and begin working with the Chamber on alternate locations which could ultimately require additional street closures.
Another measure on the agenda would rename a portion of Progress Drive and Alma Avenue to Vincentian Way.
A local individual recently requested the Board of Aldermen reconsider its 1981 ordinance prohibiting fortunetelling. Upon legal review, the city attorney has found this prohibition to be unconstitutional, and, as such, an ordinance on the agenda will officially repeal it.
The board of aldermen will meet at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in the city hall boardroom.
It is open to the public.
