2025-11-25 Village of Villa Park Community F.U.N. Commission

The Village of Villa Park Community F.U.N. Commission held a meeting on November 26, 2025, to review the recent Autumn Jubilee event and discuss planning for future community events. The discussion focused heavily on vendor participation, payment processes, and event logistics. Commissioners noted successes such as diverse vendor selection and strong vendor sales, but identified areas for improvement including streamlining vendor check-in and payment collection, encouraging advance payments to reduce no-shows, and enhancing vendor communication through an online portal or form. Budget matters were also addressed, with approximately $1,300 remaining for the year and plans to allocate funds for marketing and event enhancements. Motions were passed to include use of a party bus for upcoming events and to vote on budget spending at the next meeting. The commission emphasized the need for better signage, more food trucks, and improved entertainment coordination for future events.
