The Parks, Recreation and Forestry Board of Waukesha convened on September 8, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including the approval of previous meeting minutes and plans for an upcoming event.
The meeting began with a unanimous approval of the minutes from the last session, indicating a smooth start to the proceedings. The board then moved on to a significant discussion regarding a proposed contract with Laser Fusion for a laser light show at the 2026 Winter Jamboree.
Joanna, a representative from Laser Fusion, presented details about the planned show, clarifying that it would feature laser lights rather than drones, as had been previously requested by attendees. The theme for this year's show is "Out of This World," focusing on space, and it is scheduled for the opening night of the jamboree. The event will consist of three 15-minute shows, with a total cost of $12,000, which will be funded through sponsorships.
The board expressed enthusiasm for the return of the laser show, noting that it had been well-received in previous years and would be more suitable for the colder temperatures expected during the event.
In conclusion, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Board's meeting highlighted the excitement surrounding the upcoming Winter Jamboree and the planned laser light show, which promises to enhance the community's winter festivities. Further discussions and decisions will likely follow as the event date approaches.
