The 25th Anniversary Committee Meeting for Miami Lakes took place on July 8, 2025, focusing on preparations for the upcoming anniversary celebrations. The meeting began with discussions on promotional materials, including the design of the main logo and souvenir items. It was decided that house magnets and cow-themed pins would be produced as part of the event's merchandise.
Committee members discussed the potential for a mascot to enhance the celebratory atmosphere, with suggestions to collaborate with local businesses, including Chick-fil-A, to provide food and promotional items. The idea of setting up selfie stations was also tabled for further consideration.
The committee confirmed that the fireworks display for the anniversary event is fully arranged. A significant topic of discussion was the time capsule, which will be placed at Veterans Park. The committee emphasized the importance of including items of historical value in the capsule, steering clear of promotional materials. The Youth Task Force (YTF) is tasked with selecting the contents of the time capsule, and updates on their progress were anticipated.
The meeting concluded with a reminder that the timeline for the event and the budget are still under development, with committee members committed to finalizing details in the coming weeks. Overall, the meeting highlighted the collaborative efforts to ensure a memorable 25th anniversary celebration for the community.
