Implementation & Open Questions
Product & procurement gaps
| Gap | Notes |
|---|---|
| Stroller-mount lantern / LED string | Procession props assume hand carry; Mardi Gras stroller-decor as precedent for LNY / Mid-Autumn roll-up merch |
| Low-height décor kit | Modular hanging elements (mobile logic) for 24–36 in sightline — rental or sponsor SKU |
| Fit annotation schema | Menu-style tags per activation — not whole-venue certification |
| Children’s Theater pocket kit | Soft backdrop, low platform, shade, bounded seating — roll-up for capstones |
| Bracket staffing model | One Children’s Village director ≠ one owner per cohort |
Site ops
- Diaper changing + nursing-friendly rest zone on map
- Stroller-width path audit
- Shade-first routing to village
- Quiet zone decibel budget
- Fit slugs on schedule + web directory
- Assign cohort owners on run-of-show
Programming
- Short sets (20–30 min) for C1–C2 — not one 90-min block
- Roving characters for C1 veto window
- C4 teen hour + crew call on published grid
- Procession tail stroller-accessible + mountable-light pilot
Local synergies
- Submit to Sacramento4Kids with cohort in title
- Pitch Sactown Supermom seasonal guide
- HS club roster visible pre-event (C4)
Playbook completion TODO
- Site audit template (paths, grade, shade, quiet buffer distances)
- Stroller-mount lantern spec sheet (dimensions, clip types, safety)
- Low-height décor install sketch (mobile pattern at 30 in)
- Fit annotation icon set + listing row template (website, FB Event, map legend)
- Debrief prompts: dwell time by zone, meltdown hotspots, bracket mismatch
- Vendor RFQ language for adaptive craft stations
- Vietnamese parent–child host — NorCal outreach
- Teen exit survey deployment
- Link to live sheet row if cohort research moves to Google Sheets
Open questions
- Standard diaper station spec — rental vs DIY + health dept
- Teen zone insurance / liability for semi-autonomous bounds
- Sensory-friendly hour vs lion drum / firecracker conflict
- Minimum viable fit-tag directory on festival site (build vs PDF)
