Discussion
The ACHP has previously discussed holding a small commemoration gathering around Veterans
Day, but the event was not able to be scheduled due to weather. ACHP Chair Reckinger has
spoken to Crockett's sister Gail, and she is very interested in attending the event. At this time staff
would like the Committee's recommendation on when to host a commemoration event. Parks
Director Zac Dockter recommends holding the event in late March or early April before baseball
season starts and after the snow melts. Below are some discussion items
1. Should we hold the event on a weekday or weekend?
a. If during the week, should we host the event during the evening?
b. If during the weekend, what time should the event take place?
Recommendation
Provide a recommendation when to host the commemoration gathering.
