Organizers said the move also allows the event to reuse fairgrounds infrastructure, including bleachers and the venue’s trash dumpster system.

Mayor told the council the event is being run by a coalition of local partners, including the city’s EDTA, Main Street and the Chamber of Commerce, and emphasized the event depends on volunteers. \"We have a lot of moving parts in this Bluegrass Festival. This is the first year that we are doing it solo...the volunteer help is really, really [critical],\" the Mayor said. He also said the city saw a \"historic spike in sales tax last year,\" a stated goal of the festival organizers.

Organizers said they expect more vendors and changes to the layout to improve customer flow, and they invited residents and civic groups to volunteer. Staff noted that prior coordination with the fair board and with a contact named Kelly Brown will allow use of bleachers and the dumpster system during the festival. No formal vote was taken on the festival during this meeting; staff asked interested volunteers to contact the Mayor or event coordinators.","Council members and staff said the Bluegrass and Barbecue festival has been moved to October to avoid a county fair conflict and will use fairgrounds infrastructure; organizers asked for volunteer help and said last year’s event produced a sales-tax spike.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6510432,"FreedomFest drew about 2,600 at fairgrounds; fireworks malfunctioned, city to meet with vendor",91,308000,399000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5382530-a0a1884b750c5504b02212373736a6d3&start=308&end=399","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5382530-a0a1884b750c5504b02212373736a6d3/thumbnail_308000.jpg","/articles/6510432/Pryor-Creek/Mayes-County/Oklahoma/FreedomFest-drew-about-2600-at-fairgrounds-fireworks-malfunctioned-city-to-meet-with-vendor","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6510432-96058a33029c14d71da7aa899f8523c4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170798&Signature=L-R6frpHaPz1KU7iQOeTAWQGbedOzpiZhM1MdnD4DQru8qOE3961Wdtmx8A9IM8ZkM68NhuIa-V4uRIlBdYA5MiWRyvH7e6jdHSy3ypWp9uTmJb1nAu1oOhqAdh7rYm2rlqfDdOjFXXKfRXlUlzh8tIQsCtWR3cl9WPCMM5XPj5EqMWcDduzE-G-w4dQNOl6TOKJzH26jV65i4QKqVFCTSbHYq7TJk9wrVMyxBw02Mv6GuY9ixA2rmA4D3qN1HJbiqPHXtPBsat6dr1~MpBVAhp4JALjg8-LZzI-hxk2APiB1NJKo0HJNuUj4heTRi0bxLZNgYNKo7Q1qIQvvUvlXg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City organizers reported that FreedomFest, held at the fairgrounds, attracted roughly 2,600 attendees and that the children’s play area saw an estimated 175–200 users based on signed waivers.

The update to Pryor Creek’s council highlighted a fireworks malfunction during the show. Mayor said the problem stemmed from a failed circuit board and that, because of safety procedure at the launch site, the vendor could not re-enter for 30 minutes. \"It was not a grass fire. There was only 1 little round circle burned in the grass there about 8 inches around, where that 1 tube caught on fire,\" the Mayor said. The Mayor also said the fire department was on site and handled the situation and that no one was hurt.

Organizers told the council they still possess just under $5,000 worth of the show that did not fire. The city plans to meet with Rainbow Fireworks later this week to decide how to utilize the remaining display; the Mayor said further details will be released within about 30 days.

Council discussion praised volunteers and vendors for the event’s logistics, noting the fairgrounds provided about five acres of paved parking and access to the venue’s trash dumpster system, which organizers said simplified cleanup. \"We were able to use the majority of that. We were able to utilize their trash dumpster system, which made things very nice,\" a staff member giving the report said.

Organizers said they found the venue worked well compared with the soccer complex, that vendors reported steady lines, and that they will discuss continuing to use the fairgrounds for future events. No formal council action was taken on the fireworks issue during this meeting; the council recorded the report and directed staff to follow up with the vendor and return with any recommended public notices or actions.

The council also thanked volunteers for making the event free for children and said staff would collect feedback for next year’s planning.","City organizers reported roughly 2,600 attendees at FreedomFest at the fairgrounds and a small fireworks malfunction that burned an 8-inch circle of grass. No injuries were reported; the city says about $5,000 worth of the show did not fire and officials will meet with the vendor to decide how to use the remaining fireworks.","actionData","errors"]
