Summary

The 2011 Fourth of July Carnival was announced for the grounds of the Gregg Fellowship Hall immediately after the parade, rather than its prior location.

Evidence limits

This is an organizer’s location and volunteer notice, not a completion or attendance record.

  2. The organizer announced a move to the Gregg Fellowship Hall grounds immediately after the parade, citing shelter and shade, and solicited volunteers and stuffed-animal donations. It establishes the planned location, not attendance or completion.

  3. A next-day discussion thanks helpers and gives community feedback about the new location, including parking and wind concerns. It supports that the carnival took place, but is not an attendance count or formal event report.
