Committee flags wristband, flow and dunk-tank changes for kids attractions after VillaFest

Committee members raised several safety and flow issues related to the children’s attractions at VillaFest. Michelle McDonald (speaker 2) described long lines at kids' attractions "40 deep" at times and suggested adding more volunteers early in the day and restructuring the flow. Several members said bracelets were problematic in windy conditions and recommended either a stamp or a different wristband solution.

The dunk tank was discussed as a recurring concern: committee members suggested a physical barrier to keep people from walking through throwing lanes and recommended having a dedicated dunk-tank attendant or staff member to manage equipment reliability and safety. The committee also debated shifting the dunk tank away from the busiest pedestrian corridors to reduce crossing by children.
